I just scored a good deal on a slightly used 22/45 and it is currently in the 240 hour jail.
So go figure, my GF thinks the Ruger is ugly. She is fond of the Buckmark pistol for a practice piece so we were looking at them at Bass Pro Shop in Rancho Cucamonga. After taking a number, (#22, the counter was at #15) we waited 15-20 minutes and they call 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, finally a customer steps up. I can't imagine why all those people left. Next the call #22. I have to say that they were helpful, friendly and not condescending, a nice change from my last trip there. They have a Buckmark Camper model for $299, in stock and the best price I have seen on them.
This is the first time I have handled one of these pistols and I have to say that from the moment you pick it up it feels like a quality piece. All metal, solid and seems a bit heavy for a .22. Feels like the weight of a full size 9mm and I image will have very little recoil and help accuracy.
So how do these two models compare? They are both quality made and both are 5.5" bull barrels. I have read good things about both with only a few saying the polymer lower 22/45 being a little less popular. For me, I liked the balance of the heavy bull barrel with the lighter frame on the Ruger.
What's your experience?
Is that a good price for the Browning?
BTW, the had tons of .22lr Winchester Xpert bulk 500 packs, Remington bulk and various others. Lots of .22lr
Other ammo supplies were good too.
