Mossberg Plinkster on Sale at Dick's - $99.98

[Col. Mortimer 11]

This is a good price. http://dickssportinggoods.shoplocal.com ... DSG-090913

 

The quality of the Plinksters can be hit and miss but I don't think you can go too wrong with this price. I have one and it works great and eats cheap Remington Golden Bullets like the pig it is.

I doubt its a fair comparison

 

the 10/2 is basically the standard for 22 rifles

The 10/22 is a much better quality rifle and has more consistant quality. It has a wood stock, good open sights, better trigger group and a vast selection of after market parts

 

The Plinkster has one feature the 10/22 needs, the bolt stays open after the last shot. Overall, the Plinkster is a good value for the price.

I have both. Col. Mortimer's evaluation is good but I'll throw in something else to consider. If you use it as a utility gun a wood stock will get beat up (guns are tools). The plastic stock is going to look better 10 years from now. The camera industry learned this in the 80s (try to find a metal body camera today). I got my Plinkster last winter when Dick had them for $89.00 including an inexpensive scope. Accuracy is about equal and I've had zero problems or malfunctions with the Plinkster. As far as durability I won't be able to give you my opinion for about 25 years as that's about as long as I've had my 10/22.
