The factory-standard furniture on the Mossberg Plinkster 702 semi-automatic rimfire rifle is typically a conventional hunting-style stock. A “tactical” stock for this rifle generally refers to an aftermarket replacement designed to provide features suited for more tactical or practical shooting applications. These often include adjustable length of pull, pistol grips for improved control, and mounting points for accessories like bipods, slings, and lights. These modifications can enhance ergonomics and customization options for the rifle.
Upgrading to a more ergonomically designed stock can significantly improve the shooter’s comfort, control, and overall shooting experience. Features such as an adjustable length of pull allow the rifle to be tailored to individuals of different sizes and shooting styles. The addition of a pistol grip and accessory mounting points enhances the rifle’s versatility, facilitating the use of add-ons that can aid in stability and target acquisition. Historically, tactical-style stocks gained popularity with the rise of practical shooting competitions and the increasing interest in customizing firearms for personal preferences and specific shooting disciplines.
