This configuration describes a specific variant of the Mossberg 702, a semi-automatic .22 LR rimfire rifle known for its affordability and suitability for recreational shooting and small game hunting. The designation indicates a model equipped with a folding stock constructed from black polymer, a synthetic material prized for its durability, light weight, and resistance to weather. The “tactical” descriptor often suggests features like a pistol grip and accessory rails for mounting optics or other attachments.
The combination of a lightweight rifle with a folding stock offers enhanced portability and ease of storage. This makes it a practical choice for activities like backpacking or situations where space is limited. Polymer furniture contributes to the rifle’s overall affordability and reduces its susceptibility to damage from the elements compared to traditional wood stocks. These practical features have contributed to the popularity of such configurations among recreational shooters and those seeking a compact and easy-to-handle firearm.
