Any resasons not to buy a Mossberg 715T rifle?

I was at a gun show today and saw this neat Rifle. The Mossberg 715T. Wanted to get a few reviews on this before I decide to purchase this. Thanks for any input good or bad.

Personally if I were to get a 22 AR it would be the 15-22. Much closer to having a real AR.

I'd suggest looking at the M&P 15-22. I am not a fan of AR's but that rifle is cool. I've shot friends' and they are a lot of fun.

I believe you can rent one (15-22) at RTSP as well. Is on my purchase list for sometime soon.

Thanks for the input but my father who goes with me to ranges a lot of the time has the S&W MP15-22 so I wanted to get something a little different looking.

Are you looking for a .22 AR or any .22 rifle?

 

You could always look into lever actions (god they're fun!) or other black rifle .22's such as the ACR .22 clone and the GSG.

I like the flat top model... the other model you cannot remove the handle so you are stuck with that configuration..

 

stock will have to be pinned and so will the 26 round mags unless they make a compliant version..

only found 1 review on buds about it, http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/411550887/MII+715T+OR+22LR+B+ADJ+MB+25RD

 

and it looks like they also make a 10rd compliant version.

 

 

 

IMO it looks a little cheap, I'd spend a little more cash and get a s&w 15-22 or build up a ruger 10/22

[tony357 386]

yes they do make a 10rd version.

handled that moss 22 rifle and wow kinda really cheap feeling, like this thing is a weapon? great price tho

[Sivl32 27]

sigg 522 not that feels and looks like a great 22 rifle.. 10/22 also kicks ass

I have one, and for the price it cant be beat. I looked at the S&W and felt no reason to spend the extra money for that. The mossberg fills the 22lr AR15 roll perfectly. What it is, is a mossberg 702 plinkster rifle re-dressed as an AR. It works great, it's accurate, light as anything, and of course fun to shoot. No complaints here.

 

I have the version with the carry handle and I mounted a red dot on top of it (pinned stock, 10rd, full rails). Also, it uses the cheap and plentiful 702 plinkster magazines.

I looked at both the Smith and the Mossberg. They are both plastic and I was suprised by how cheap they both felt. So the Mossberg is a lot less and seemed a little cheaper than the Smith so why not go for the Mossberg if it has good reviews and is not a jam-o-matic! Just don't buy a ACR clone ISSC MK-22 if have one and it is a jam-o-matic, so stay away from it!!

Checked out the Mossberg 715T today at Cheyenne Mountain Outfitters. Brand New $275 with the 10 round clip. Very tempting for sure...

I 100% agree...

i have a mossberg 702 plinkster, i really dont like it. Even using high quality cci ammo or anything i always have fte problems and ftf problems. then i through the ammo in a marlin 60 that eats anything. i just was disappointed with the 702 plinkster since i got it. I personally would get a 15-22 or other tactical 22 because i dont feel confident in the mossberg 22lr system.

I have one. I picked up the flat top version with red dot for $300. You can't beat the value. It's fun as hell to shoot and I have had no issues feeding it only bulk federal. Run a bore snake through it and call it a day because it's a lot more difficult to break down than an AR. My only complaint is mag availability and price.
