Browning Buckmark Rifle

[m2101]

Any owner or shooter that have experience with this Rifle.
Is it a good option for a 22lr?
All information is welcome.
Thanks

A sweet, very accurate carbine in a class of it's own. Have the sporter with a Weaver 3-9 AO. They do spit back on occasion so glasses are a must, should be wearing them in all shooting anyway.

The '+'
Fun
Good handling
reasonably accurate
If you have a BM pistol, they can share magazines

the downside...
a little $$
They sometime throw dirt at you, so as other have said... don't forget your safety glass.

I always thought these were restricted on the whole "derived from a pistol" shenanigan rule?

Grouse River carries them. Don't know if they're in stock or not.

The Buckmark has a permanent buttstock frame, which deems it a "rifle" not a "pistol." What killed the Judge rifles ia that they used the same frame as the pistols.

Dangit. There goes my excuse for not adding it to the list of "things I want but probably can't afford..." I'd been looking at them off and on for a couple of years, but never added it to "the list" because i just assumed it was restricted, and I have no use for a restricted .22 rifle.

"The List"... oh, she is an evil mistress.

LOVE mine!! It chews up and spits out anything!

I have had both the sporter and the heavy barrel laminate target... sold the target and kept the sporter... I think these guns should be light and compact... the scope should be compact also, for best balance and feel... it is a great small game carry.

Thanks for the help. Hope I will have one in my safe this summer.
