Congrats on a great pistol!! As many have said, you'll love the Buck Mark! Good tip with the dab of lock tite on the hex screws. And, you will want at least 2 mags.

Mine has a date this Friday, with the wife & I at Sac Valley.

What is the going price on one of these? I have a Ruger Mark I that is a total piece of junk. It will fire about 5 rounds before failing to feed, failing to eject etc and then there is the horrible mag release. I've polished the feed ramp, thoroughly cleaned it, tried all different makes of ammo and it's still unreliable. My wife is beginning to enjoy shooting but hates the Ruger due to all the malfunctions. I'm thinking that the Browning might be the gun to get for her.

The most basic, the camper UFX can be had for under $350. Not a bad price for a well built piece of equipment with a great reputation.

I just went to download the rebate form for the free magazine and I noticed starting yesterday they have a new rebate which is in all likelyhood a better deal for most people. You get 8% of your purchase price back on any Browning gun or safe to help cover the sales tax! Good deal!

Remove the hex bolts on the top of the gun, clean them and the threads and reinstall using blue Loctite.
These have come loose on both of my Buckmarks.
Might as well do the one under the barrel is well.

This ^. Once I did this, I haven't had any issues. It's my favorite range toy, and accurate as heck! Always use it to teach new shooters the basics, and they all love it.

DUDE thank you for this!! I just bought a Buckmark and realized it only came with one mag. MONEY!!

Just found this, thanks for your thanks, I'm can't wait until it shows it!

Thanks,

Triple

All dressed up for the prom but no one to go with! Can't pick up my Buck Mark until Tuesday

My extra mags are here already. Stupid 10 day wait! Oh well, guess I will have to go shoot my other guns...

Took my buck mark out to a fun group shoot at my friends property outside of shingle springs. First time shooting it and shared it with the group. It was a hit! Multiple people told me how much they liked it and it performed with hiccup through 300 rounds of mostly cheap win m22.

[Glockroo]

OP do you mean "without" hiccup? How do you like the Fiber Optic sight on the practical? How's the balance of the gun? Not sure if bull barrel makes any difference. Glad you had fun!

No misfires of any type that I am aware of. Other people shot it more than me though! The balance of the gun is great for accuracy but maybe less good for speed. We were shooting outdoors so the fiber optic sight was really beneficial. I like that its fiber optic up front but not in the back. I think it makes sight acquisition much quicker. I think the gun will need to be sighted in at the range but it was still a lot of fun as confirmed by several of the other people who shot it yesterday.

Two people asked me how much I paid for it and said they were thinking of getting one! I guess I should be a buck mark salesman.

[Midtown]

I think I may have a problem! The buck mark is too much fun and the bullets go mega fast. It's so easy to point and line up a shot and at 34 ounces there is basically zero recoil. I didn't take any pictures but I was shooting nice groups at 10 yards off hand last night. Would probably go out further but the super old targets I was using were hard enough to see at that distance.

The gun is so solid for a inexpensive 22LR pistol. I love it. Thinking about selling my Single Ten purely on the fact that I doubt I will shoot it as much now that I have the buck mark.

[XVIga_Rob]

Nope....No problem that I can see/read. Gotta love the BuckMark!!

Take your new BuckMark out to Sac Valley. Grab one of the Red rifle rests and a sand bag or two. Sight it in using the rest & sandbag. Once happy with the grouping. Head down the line to the steel target (rimfire only) range and plink steel at 25 & 50 yds. Be sure to take a big box of ammo and your extra mags!

P.S. Don't forget to take a along a bore snake and a small bottle of oil.
