Mossberg 400 Palomino

Tarfu43 · 03-04-2008, 08:18 AM

Is the Mossberg 400 Palomino lever-action .22 a good rifle? There is one at the local gunshop for $325. It's in excellent condition, but that price seems steep. Is it worth it? I have a Mossberg 144, and it's an awesome rifle. I was wondering if the Palomino is considered a good lever-action.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I have had two of them over the years. Both would constantly break firing pins. The firing pins used to be available from Numerich Arms, but I don't know if there are still any around. From my experience, I would avoid the Palomino.

Price seems high, they are a pretty solid built gun. as to the firing pins breaking I've never heared that before . maybe it it was dry fired too often.thats usually the cause of broken firing pins. --JMJ-- get him down about a $100
