Walked in to buy a mos tac. 22....

[McMalice]

And walked out with an M&P 15 Sport, this makes the 3rd time I've walked in to a gun store to buy a .22 and walked out with something bigger and better. I took it right out to the range after the purchase, here are the results with the cheapst 55 gr . 223 they had.

Not bad for a guy that hasn't shot a rifle in ten years I'd like to think. I bought this a week ago Sunday, on Tuesday I picked up a Vortex Strikefire and put 170 rounds through it today.

Well after spending a bill at the range I went ahead and stopped at academy and bought a 702 Plinkster, somehow they managed to hide it in an AR shaped plastic frame lol. It should pay for it self in a month. Anyway can't wait to get the M&P out to the lease, lots of coyote, hogs, rabbits, and some red fox.

Congratulations on the new sport, and that certainly isn't bad shootin at all! Keep putting rounds through it and you are sure to get even better.
Good luck, stay safe and happy hunting.

Here are my latest results, since I was there with my new. 22 i decided to put a box of rounds through the sport, much more consistant. Shooting the. 22 really helps with smooth trigger pull and getting past the pre fire flinch. That is 22 out of 30 rounds in the bullseye, I jerked the gun on the hole outside, knew is was off as soon as I pulled the trigger. 22lr groupings aren't bad either, much harder to be precise when you don't have those handy one inch rings to go by.

Since you really seem to be enjoying the M&P 15 Sport, I can't imagine why you didn't pick up the M&P15-22. No other built-for-the-.22LR-cartridge rifle available on the market comes close to replicating the features and functions of an AR-15 in .22LR. Except for the lighter weight and the shorter length of pull of the charging handle, the S&W feels like you have an AR in your hands.

After 800 on the sport I couldn't justify another 500 on the 15-22. No doubt it is a better gun, but the 715 is good enough for what I want it for, cheap range days.

Mossberg .22lr Plinkster Tactical ^^^ Looks like it will be a good AR15 training analog & fun gun. Congrats!

Now if you had purchased the 702 with the ridiculous muzzle brake, I'd have teased you a bit.

I currently own a M&P 15-22 and couldn't be happier. I traded my plinkster in on it. The mosscrap couldn't group better than 12" at 25 yards!

It went back to the Mexican service shop 3 times and they couldn't fix it. One time they just cleaned it and returned it, saying it was OK. I wrote and wrote explaining it was accuracy but they didn't seem to understand english too well.

Last Mossberg I ever buy. Shoulda bought the S&W in the first place, but I was suckered by the cheap price.

I realize that mine was out of the ordinary, but even though I got a lemon they wouldn't replace it. Not so much the bad gun that made me mad - more because of the poor customer service.

Holy **** that is just what I need, a 22lr with a .50cal muzzle brake. Man you just don't know what cool is do you. I bet you don't even have an ipod attatchment on the side of your AR...

I completely understand where you're coming from.

I say the same thing about a Umarex Colt M4 Ops. .22lr I owned. Should have bought a S&W 15-22 in the first place.

Sir, it is you that is ignorant in the ways of the tacticool. A picatinny rail attachment for your iPod won't help in a SHTF.

This will.

Mount an EoTech and a grip pod on this bad-boy, and not a drop of tactical beer will be spilled.

ROTFL!

 

[oneyeopn]

Wow...now If I can find one of those 50 cal muzzle brakes that attach with the set screws I can put on my Marlin 795 and I will be cool....plus it will give it the ability to not recoil when I am shooting my hotter 22lr loads, You all know how they can make you tend to jerk the trigger and not hold it steady on the bull!!!!!

LMAO

Your opening line gave me the impression that you weren't too budget bound. I was under the assumption that a couple hundred more for a 15-22 wasn't that big a deal. My bad....
