Browning Buckmark

troylaplante · 01-12-2005, 07:32 PM

I bought my first Browning today. I have been looking for a good target pistol for months and found such a good deal today, I couldn't pass it up.

I have been looking at the Ruger MKII primarily. I had priced them, found the best price (at my local range) and was planning on getting one. This week's paycheck was fairly good, so I contemplated buying a Mosin Nagant rifle, a Hi-Point carbine, or a used Buckmark I saw yesterday.

The Buckmark I saw yesterday was pretty, but was showing an appreciable amount of wear. Today, I went to two gun shops after work. One had the Nagant I was considering. The next shop had some Rugers and Buckmarks. Since they are a primarly a Browning dealer, the had a good selection of Brownings.

I was going to wait on a purchase until he pulled out a Buckmark 5.5 inch bull barrel that was "pre-owned". It looked NEW...no wear...period. It looks like it was purchased and never fired. The original receipt was in the hard shell case that was with the pistol. It was purchased in October of 2003 at the first shop I went to today. There is was...calling my name. For less than $200, it was mine, baby!

Anyone else shoot a Buckmark?

Big Dog · 01-12-2005, 07:50 PM

The Buckmark is a good pistol. I have the same model, Troy. Just make sure the top bar screws are kept tight - otherwise the rear sight can move. I have mine Blue Loctited.
I was torn between the Ruger and this pistol - I finally chose the Buckmark because it's grip shape matched my Colt 1991A1.
The only ammo I've had trouble with is Remington - they are so inconsistent the Buckmark chokes on them. It loves CCI and Federal though!

Thanks for the info. I have hundreds of Winchester .22 standard velocity hollow points left ($7 a box of 500 at Wal-Mart). The Buck Mark seemed to fit nicely in my hand and I liked the balance.

I will tighten down those screws good and snug. I already put a Tru-Glo sight on the front...actually, Hi Viz, made by Browning.

Thanks for the info, Big Dog (my favorite clothing line).

my brother has one and loves it :right:

SilverRun · 01-12-2005, 08:33 PM

Troy,
I have one just like yours (without the fancy front sight). I love mine. I agree with BD on those pesky top bar screws though. Mine keep working their way loose as well. Be Careful though not to strip them out! Also, keep it clean or it will start to have cycling problems. The good news is - it is WAY easier to clean than a Ruger (my opinion of course).

A while back I replaced the top bar with a weaver mount and red dot scope. I hated it. The scope sits very high above the barrel and at the relatively close ranges the pistol is used it was a bugger trying to keep up with trajectory (others may have better luck though). Needless to say, mine is back to factory original now.

Good Choice on the pistol you will keep this one for a while. Nice price as well.

Very good gun I had one up until last april -- I was in Bass Pro and came across oa deal on the Beretta Neos - so I bought the Neos and gave the Browning to Morgan and then bought him new grips and a scope base. He shoots it so often I think I am going to have to start buying 22's by the case of cartons.

Uncle Red · 01-16-2005, 01:31 AM

Several years ago a buddy of mine had a Buck Mark and for fun used to hold it in his left hand while using his right index finger to "flick" the trigger. Got fast enough to make people think it was full auto. He stoped doing it after getting tossed out of a local range for being unsafe. BTW, I do not condone this pratice. -UR

troylaplante · 01-23-2005, 01:23 PM

I just may lose the Buckmark to the wife. She shot it for the first time on Thursday and LOVED it. She likes the small recoil and accuracy. It is a bit heavier than the small .22 or .380 she was used to, but she really likes the ease of mag reloading and balance of the gun in her hand. I bought it as an entry level bullseye pistol, but I may not get to retain ownership much longer. She also loves the Hi-Viz sight I put on it compared to the blade sight. She shot hundreds of rounds with it the other day but downplayed how much she liked it. She has never taken to a gun like this before. I'll miss my new Browning.

Big Dog · 01-23-2005, 04:48 PM

No problemo - just buy another - his & her Buckmarks!

Just out of curiosity, did you keep the mount and red dot? Have you ever thought of letting them go?

Sold the mount but kept the scope. I plan on hanging onto the scope. I know some people like the scope set-up, but I sure hated it. That is why I brought it up before! But, if you really want one, check out ebay. I got mine off ebay for about $20. Sold it there for about $20!

If you are planning on shooting at a set distance it would likely work out fine. But, my setup had the red dot pretty high above the barrel. So the difference in point of aim at 10yds and 30yds was quite a bit. Besides, it was kind of impractical to carry. Just didn't fit my needs.

Good luck

p.s. You got off lucky, my wife swiped a Glock 23c as "her" gun! It really pays to stay on their good side if they know how to shoot!

mel-lyn · 01-29-2005, 10:15 AM

I have the Buckmark Camper just like yours minus the Hi-Viz sights. I love it. I also have a Ruger 22/45 and a Ruger Mark I frame with a 10" MarkII barrel with a Lazerlyte sight on it-pure tackdriver. I just finished handcrafting some Black Walnut grips for my Buckmark. I like the original grips, but I am a wood guy, so I decided to test my woodworking abilities. I think I did a pretty good job for my first set. I will try to get some pics posted soon, I just applied a coat of hand rubbed oil wax to give them a little sheen and they are drying out right now. I'll snap some pics when a get another coat on them. They took me about 20 hours, on and off, to get to where I am now. Tedious carving and sanding, but they feel real good on my gun.

Cool. Wish I had the skill and patience to do stuff like that. I look forward to seeing the pix.

Big Dog, after several hundred rounds, I haven't had a problem with the rear sights moving, but rather the front sight screw coming a bit loose.

I just spent a hundred or so rounds yesterday getting it sighted in for longer distance. I double checked with a caliper and found that the Hi-Viz and blade sight are exactly the same height (clever, those sight makers at Browning). It took a heck of a lot of height adjustments on the rear sight to get it anywhere near accurate at 15 yards. I will fine tune it better next trip to the range for 25 yards. It shot awesome at 7 yards the first time out, but what a difference at long distances. I am fairly satisfied with the 15 yards grouping. If I can just overcome a bit of wobble in aiming, I will be happier.

I found a bunch of sites online to print out free targets. The range I go to only has silhouette targets right now, so an 8.5 X 11" target on an ink jet will have to do for now. At least I am not getting charged for a target.

I have thought about putting a red dot scope on the Buckmark, but really want to just get better at open sights. Also, I need to go to the eye doctor soon for a new prescription. My health plan only pays for one visit every two years. I know that there isn't a huge difference in prescription over the last time, but a slight adjustment will probably help some.

My range has a used Ruger MK2 for sale in 6-7/8 barrel. Although I can order
a new 512 cheaper than they offer the 678 for, I still would like to try the 678 just to see how it holds up (or rather how I hold up with it).

The wife was wanting to go with me to the range yesterday until I told her that I was wanting to spend some time on the Buckmark. Then, she decided to stay at home. She has really taken a liking to it compared to the .380 pistols I have.

troylaplante · 02-19-2005, 02:20 PM

The wife was wanting to go to the range today and put some holes in paper targets. She has really fallen in love with that Buckmark.

I snapped a few photos when we came home.

I shoot in the .22 league here in Woodstock (cultural center of the universe) on Tuesday nights. I started with a S&W 422, and shot 166 (out of 500). Next week, I bought the Buckmark Camper, and doubled my score. After that, my score would go up about 20 points each week, as I learned from the other shooters and got used to my pistol. I shoot cheap Winchester rounds, and it loves them. I tried the Remington Golds, and it jammed at least 1 per clip.
My best target was a 95 with 4 x; my best night was two weeks ago, where I shot 460 with 14 x. The other guys I shoot against mostly have the IZH knockoff russian gun, with a few shooting a ruger. Many shoot red dot sights; I use iron sights, but I painted my front sight orange.
It is sho'nuff fun to shoot & not have to worry about racking up a huge ammo bill!

troylaplante · 02-22-2005, 06:17 AM

I also shoot the cheap Winchester ammo and have had no problems except a deformed bullet or two in one particular box. I just got a cheap red dot sight, since I am not sure if I even want to use one or not. I figured that if I don't like using one, I haven't invested much. If I do, then I can always invest more, get a good one, then I have a spare for whatever purpose I want.

I subscribe to a bullseye shooting email list where there are a lot of IZH, Ruger, and S&W 41 lovers. Also, you will find Hammerli enthusiasts. Wish I could afford a Hammerli. There are a few Buckmark shooters, but most on that list consider Buckmark a lesser gun.

There isn't a league around here, that I know of. I have only been shooting on my own when I can. The local range is only open 10 - 5 Thurs and Fri and 10 - 3 on Sat. It is not always easy to get there during those hours. It is a 40 minute drive and a lot of cash to go to another indoor range.

I have been wanting to try some different ammo, just for grins. I have heard a lot about match grade ammo, and would like to see if there is any difference in my Buckmark.

I am considering a Ruger MKII next, before they stop selling them. MKIII is the next generation, and the gunsmiths and shooters I have heard from absolutely hate them. I like the Buckmark balance and feel better than the Ruger, though.

The range I go to does not have a good assortment of targets to choose from...large silhouette, small silhouette. Nothing for actual bullseye type shooting. So I have been downloading targets online and printing them out on 8.5 X 11 paper. I would love to get some NRA official targets for practice, considering that is what the competitions would be using. I have found a web site or two I can order them from.

Maybe I will start a thread with the online target sites for general info.

troylaplante · 03-10-2005, 07:37 PM

I got real tired of not being able to shoot my .22 pistol at the gun range every time I take the wife with me. So I have been shopping for another .22 pistol for her use. I found several that interested me, including a Beretta Neos, Ruger Mark II, Smith and Wesson model 22, and other Buckmarks. I visited gun shops and pawn shops and thought I had found what I wanted until today.

I had been wanting a Ruger Mark II for a while. It was my intention for that to be the first target pistol I bought until I found such a good deal on the Buckmark, I couldn't pass that one up, considerin that I was in the market for one at the time. Today was very similar.

I had been comparing the Ruger 22/45 with the Mark II 512 with bull barrel. I had intended to purchase one I was at a gun store in Raleigh. Today, I ended up traveling some and stopped by a gun shop I had visisted before and that has a good selection. I found a Ruger 22/45 for sale on consignment at a great price. It had little or no wear and looked to have been fired little or not at all. It is in immaculate condition, much like the Buckmark I purchased.

The problem with the Buckmark is that the wife was having problems chambering the first round. the slide is too tight for her to pull back. The 22/45 has a better grip for her to pull back on, but is still stiff. I bought some dummy .22 rounds for her to practice with. She can do the chambering just fine. Soon, we will see how the pistol shoots.

I just ordered a Browning Buckmark Camper like Troy and Theresa were using. It is very balanced. I held it at Gander Mountain. When you place your finger under the trigger guard against the front strap it almost doesn't even move. The other ones (Smith and W41, Ruger, Neo) all move forward fast, due to the barrel weight. I am primarily buying it for my wife and she loved the balance (I realize the weight helps recoil on those front-heavy barrels I mentioned, but she does not need something to feel soo heavy). She has never fired a handgun before, so I think it will be perfect. She fired my S&W M&P .40, but the recoil and noise were too distracting for her (but for those of you reading this, for me the Smith and Wesson .40 M&P is a perfect fit!) I got a feeling I will love to shoot her Browning very much though!
The Beretta Neo was very comfortable in both our hands, but the appearance was so "V." Ya know, that old eighties show with the rat-eating aliens. Didn't they have stupid-looking guns? Maybe I'm thinking of some other sci-fi show. Anyway, I thought it looked cheesy and less serious than the Browning. The Ruger looks substantial and feels so, but my wife wanted that sweet comfort that the Browning and Neo's have.

troylaplante · 09-04-2007, 01:48 PM

Well, the wife won't be using the Buckmark ever again, now that she no longer resides here. For that matter, the same for the Ruger and the Beretta Neos.

ezearln · 09-04-2007, 01:56 PM

Sorry to hear that Troy, hope you are hanging in there. Good luck.
