MOSSBERG 640KA is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .22WMR offered as a used example. This listing notes it does not include a magazine or original box, shows wear on the stock, barrel, and inside the receiver, and is missing the rear iron sight. It does arrive with a sling and an included Simmons scope — a practical starting point for optics-equipped use.

Condition and value assessment

At a listed price of $300.99, the MOSSBERG 640KA represents a budget-friendly entry into a bolt-action .22WMR platform. Expect cosmetic wear on the stock and barrel; internal receiver wear is noted, so a gunsmith inspection is recommended before regular use. The missing rear iron sight and lack of magazine mean initial cost savings are offset by minor accessory purchases, but the included Simmons scope and sling add practical value for immediate use.

Optics, accessories, and maintenance

Included gear

The included Simmons scope provides an immediate aiming solution, useful for target work and small-game tasks. Because the rear iron sight is missing, the scope mounting and zeroing process should be prioritized: verify base and rings, then confirm point-of-impact at multiple distances. Replaceable parts — a rear sight or a compatible magazine — are commonly available and straightforward to install.

Why .22WMR matters for this platform

.22WMR delivers higher velocity and energy than .22LR, offering improved terminal performance on small game and better reach for small pest control. Recoil remains minimal, making follow-up shots faster and training easier for new shooters. For defensive roles, understand the limitations: while the .22WMR can be effective in close encounters, it is primarily best employed for training, varmint control, and low-recoil practice with a reliable bolt-action design.
