The Mossberg 702 Plinkster is a semi-automatic rifle chambered for the .22 Long Rifle cartridge, using 10- or 25-round box magazines. It has been sold under the Mossberg name since at least 2003. It is a competitor to the Marlin 795, the Ruger 10/22, the Remington 597, and the Mossberg Blaze.
The "Plinkster" name was previously applied to a different Mossberg offering—the Model 377, which was also chambered for .22 Long Rifle, but with a 15-round tubular magazine, available from approximately 1977 to 1984. "Plinking" is a popular term for informal recreational target shooting.
