After Christmas present for me, a new plinker

[Harrylee]

Well the after Christmas boogeyman got me, been looking at the Browning Buck Mark for awhile and just so happens one of my local gun stores had them on sale. In my eyes I thought the Buck Mark was well designed, I liked that when the slide open it was open on both sides thinking that it would help blow some of the crap out of the gun when fired. It sits next to my Sig 1911-22 which is a nice plinker gun also. So with it being on sale it fit my budget today, so many guns too little money for today and they did have a good assortment of firearms and they have real good prices. Have to save up again and take another ride over there. So that’s it freshly cleaned from the box now waiting for a range trip.

Harrylee,
Congrats on the new Buck Mark. I'm a fan of them myself.
If you are not already aware of it, you might want to research the "Heggis Flip" (https://www.google.com/search?q=heggis+Flip&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8)

I’m ahead of you Greg, checked the trigger before I took it apart for cleaning and saw 5lb 10oz
got all the packing grease clean out and flipped the spring and wow easiest trigger job I ever did. It came in at 2lb 10oz, did my homework before I even bought it. But thanks for thinking of me :)

Excellent!!

Nice buckmark, I wished i kept mine.

Hard to beat a Buckmark. Lots of great shooting ahead there. The 1911-22 is a nice shooter too. More accurate than I expected. Two fine plinkers there.

Looks like the Buck Mark and the Ruger Mark series are the two top target 22's out there. Some say this, some say that. The Ruger was more money but for the price the Browning was a deal, like the fact the barrel can be swapped out is a plus with no trouble. And heard guys with the Ruger went with expensive trigger parts to get them dialed in, the trigger on the box stock gun is great just flipped the sear spring and it feels like a match gun to me. As far as taking a gun down for cleaning, that doesn’t bother me at all. When I take my 1911 to the range the first thing when I get home is to break it down into tiny pieces like this.

Now I’m chomping at the bit to take this little beauty to the range with my 45, but the 45 puts bigger holes in the target and easier to see for my old eyes. But I can see a place for this little 22:)

Nice buy Harrylee. CDNN has them at a good price right now. I have spent too much this month on other shooting irons though...

Enjoy the plinking!

Is that pencil lead around the edge of that hole? Just askin.

[Harrylee]

Hum that looks familiar to me, think I did one of those once or twice. The test is to get this new Buckmark to do that. High hopes, old eyes and a little luck will make my day:)

[gb6491]

They do shoot nice!

Harrylee,
If you are not already ahead of me again :), you might want to see if Rusty22 is still offering up his BMT (Buck Mark Maintenance Tool) for sale:

[Harrylee]

Greg you’re a ahead of me on this, very cool and I didn’t see it before. Can see that being very handy. Or might jut make one. THANKS:)

Well got myself to the range today and had to test some new powder for the 1911 and I brought my new Browning Buckmark. Had to do a bit of sight adjustment to get it dialed in but finally started coming in. Not sure I like that big fiber optic front sight yet, it’s very bright but big. I was shooting at the 50 foot line with it and using bullseye targets, MAN those targets are small. Now by no means am I bulleye shooter but I like to have my fun, and it took quite a few targets to get the this target. The curved trigger takes some getting used to also, I try with it some more but I did see a straight trigger for it and that’s what I have on my 1911. So I’ll give that a chance too, if not may swap that out. All in all nice little shooter, so had fun with my Christmas gift to myself today. Kinda funny shot the 45 first (150 rounds) then the Buckmark and I was still in recoil mode when I pulled the trigger (gee heard the bang but no kick) so with 200 rounds thru that, it made for a good day to take off and go to the range.

I was amazed I did that good,sometimes good luck and aim :2eek:

No, harry and I did that a few weeks ago out at Harry's Range. We sighted in my Danial Defense DDMV4/ Trijicon TR-25 Green triangle reticle.

Yes some of those holes were Harry's Fault!

My Podavach Mag Loader is amazing.
I became a dealer in The US for them.

I look forward to catching up with Harrylee in the spring as winter in his parts are too damn cold to enjoy shooting....
