Key Features
Precision Engineering
The 702 Plinkster incorporates a free-floating barrel design, a critical feature for mitigating barrel harmonics and optimizing shot-to-shot consistency. The blued steel receiver is dovetailed, grooved to precisely accept 3/8″ scope mounts, enabling straightforward optics integration for enhanced aiming solutions. Adjustable fiber optic rifle sights are standard, providing a clear and acquisition-efficient sight picture under varying light conditions.
Ergonomics & Durability
This specific model features a black synthetic youth bantam stock, configured for a reduced length of pull suitable for smaller-framed shooters. The stock’s stippled grip and forend surfaces enhance weapon retention and control. Dual swivel studs are integrated for sling attachment, increasing portability. A thick, vented recoil pad is included, primarily to provide a secure shoulder interface and mitigate perceived recoil, further improving shooting comfort.
Operational Safety
Operational security is managed by a conveniently located cross-bolt safety, providing immediate manipulation. The magazine release button is also positioned for quick and intuitive access, facilitating efficient magazine changes.
