Browning Buckmark

[sempreobie]

Seriously considering buying a Buckmark. Gander has a Hunter with 5.5" barrel. Curious if anyone has shot this gun with scope and what they thought of it compared to other Buckmarks.

Never shot a Buckmark that wasn't good.Would still rather shoot a Ruger MK though.

I've never shot one. But they're fantastic pistols as are just about everything with the Browning moniker.

You can get an after-market light weight aluminum barrel, too. Even threaded for the addition of a suppressor.

And you can also do much better than Gander Mountain's price if you shop around a little. I can almost guarantee that!

I have the "practical" and I like it a lot. It's really comfortable and more accurate than any I have shot at this kind of price. I wouldn't want a scope on mine though. But a suppressor would be really cool.

Better prices online or IN shops?

I have the Browning Camper Whisper. Best .22 pistol I have ever owned. I like the threaded barrel to pop the suppressor on. Very accurate out to 200 yards.

Better prices online or IN shops?

Both.

But buying online you'll generally have to pay both shipping and the transfer fee once it gets to your FFL. This can certain eat into any "savings".

Plus you'll not be helping a local shop out.

And if you go local shops... I only know of one shop that's higher than Gander Mountain.

I've never shot one with a scope, but I have a holo sight on mine and love it.

As other have offered, Gander Mountain charges a premium for their guns. The Browning Buckmark is an excellent and fun little pistol to shoot. I have one and when we go shooting, everyone wants to plink with it.

OK,..... now who's going to start telling me where to find a good deal on a new buckmark?

 

[venenoindy]

Buckmarks are ok but highly suggest the Rugers instead, I had a Buckmark hunter and the top screws would come lose at the range and drove me nuts. Thousands of rounds later love my Rugers!

I think the feel of the buckmark for me is way better than the ruger. I am sure they are both great guns and both can be had for a fair price and great service at 21st century firearms in Bluffton. I have bought both a ruger and a buckmark there, good luck on your purchase.

My Buckmark has served me well for over 20 yrs until the extractor broke off. Contacted Browning but got no answer yet.

 

[maarlborogto]

very good gun i sighted mine in when i still had it in at almost 75 feet and it was very accurate

 

[Bummer]

I went to Bradis and held the Buckmark, held the Ruger, held the Buckmark, held the Ruger. I bought the one that felt the best in my hand. Got a fair deal on it too.

Perfect

Ive been through several Rugers, and yes they are nothing but amazing...
My biggest complaint is the take down, it has always been a challenge for me.

I purchased an Browning Buckmark about a year ago...
simply awesome! Picked it up at Gander as a standard Camper.

As someone who "tinkers" I had to start...well...tinkering!
Here she is...


Cant say enough about the Buckmark, sold all my Rugers and currently shoot Browning!

I agree completely. Especially with the different grip types of both guns. And try the 22/45. I know lots of people like them but they just don't feel right in my hand.

I luv's that camper doglb!!!

Thanks Bman~!
