Buckmark 22 Target Pistol

mark8252 · 01-13-2006, 11:00 PM

Just brought home one of the target pistols made by Browning. The Buckmark 22lr, 5 1/5 B, Plus Nickel SE, Wood Laminate, Pro Target Model, TruGlow /Marble.

Anyone have any luck with one of these target pistols?
I think I just might be liken this one more than my Ruger Target pistols.

they are good little guns.

I have a 1994 Target 5.5", and a 2004 Target 5.5". They're great target guns. I really enjoy mine.

I love mine. I will probably be taking it to the range today. I have a Camper model 5.5" bull barrel.

I have an early 90s model and it's a superb shooter.

I've only had to replace the extraction claw and the ejector spring and connector which flew out one day.

No big deal...total of $5 in parts and a breeze to put in.

I just now got back from the range. I took my 22/45 and my Buckmark today. I shot them both numerous times, alternating between them. I definitely like the handling, feel, and balance of the Buckmark better. The Ruger is not as comfortable in my hand but is a bit more accurate. Either way, both guns shoot better than I do.

I got a chance to fire one one time, it was someone's on the range. It shot very smoothe, incredibly accurate

I have the buckmark "camper" model. I really like it - much better than the ruger. Be sure you keep and eye on the hex bolts holding the top strap/rear sight on. They tend to shoot loose on mine after a while - no big deal though. Great guns!

A common problem, it seems. Same here.

I don't know about common...I've never had a problem but I will keep that in mind.

Thanks for the heads up.

Big Dog was talking about the same thing a while ago on another thread.

I had one a while back and loved it then I bought a Beretta Neos and gave the buckmark to Morgan (eventually it will come back to me )

Am considering a Buckmark Hunter, 7-1/4 heavy barrel for target, possible with a Burris pistol scope? How hard is it to take apart to clean? After hearing some of the problems with a Ruger MK3, I think I want a Buckmark. Anybody have any comments? Any suggestions or advantages to the 5.5" or 7-1/4 barrell? (I will get the Bull barrell)
Okay, I ordered the Hunter 7-1/4 bull barrel with cocobolo grips. It sure is a sweet shooter & surprisingly, has a nice soft trigger too. Rear sight was way off but after adjusting, it shoots awesome! Thanks to all of you that made positive comments!

troylaplante · 01-01-2007, 08:29 PM

The Buckmark is pretty easy to take down and clean. No problem.

gandog56 · 01-12-2007, 08:23 PM

I put a Tactical Solutions 10 1/2 inch fluted barrel on my Buckmark, and turned a sweet shooter into an honest to god tackdriver. With the addition of a rail and a red dot holo sight, I just can't seem to miss.

Zen900 · 01-12-2007, 09:57 PM

Buckmark Camper here too. Stuck a Bushnell reddot on top. I ditched the origonal sight for the Tactical Solutions rail. If I had had more money though I would have bought the Buckmark Damascus or the Buckmark Hunter. Geez those are beautiful pistols. I'm very content withthe Camper though. It's a very underated pistol if you can say anything by Browning is underrated.

Dale, The exact same thing happened to me shooting my Buckmark. Something flew past my face, and extractor and ejector and spring were gone. Only found the claw. Good people at Browning replaced the pieces all I had to pay was postage.. Weird though.
