1 week ago I bought a Browning Buckmark. Went to the range, started sighting in, and had recurring problems with feeding and ejection. I kept working with it, thinking OK it's just trying to break in. Finally succeeded in sighting in the pistol. I decided just to keep firing it, putting my other planned shooting on hold. I'm glad I did. Instead of selling it like I thought about, it started running better, stopped having feeding and ejection problems. I fired about 200 rounds, all different types and manufacturers. At the end of the session it was working fine, and had great accuracy. A fine pistol that needed to be broke in is all I can figure. Happy shooting. P.S. the magazine disconnect is easily defeated with no loss of performance. It will probably raise a warranty issue if you return it for any reason.
Hey Buddy, I've been watching your reviews for years, first time commenting. This isn't the first gun you sold me on. Your review on This model of Buckmark was especially concise and hit on all the positives and negatives of this handgun. Taking the extra time to show the breakdown was especially nice. I bought one based on your review and let me tell you, it's a sweet shooter. Thanks for doing your research and delivering quality content. That's what sets this channel apart from so many others. Keep up the good work.
You know they make a .177 pellet break barrel version , pretty accurate , but just for plinking (you might be able to take out mice , but I wouldn’t shoot anything bigger )
@@reelfishing002 clearly this is your first time commenting
You chose the exact one from the video? How does it compare to the Lite version with fluted barrel I'm having a hard time choosing between
Great video ! My first pistol was buckmark and I still like them after all these years
Just bought a new buckmark, about a month ago. Hands down the best .22lr pistol I have ever owned. Great review!
Which version did you get? The camper?
MRI Man Plus Practical URX, I love it!
I want one for XMAS 2019. Love ANY Browning product, including clothes and boots.
I’ve had my Buck Mark 23 years. Had to replace the rubber recoil buffer 2 years ago. Easy fix. Wish mine had those cocking lugs on the slide. It’s a great pistol and I’ll never let it go.
I have the Ultra DX 5.5” in stainless. Amazing little pistol. I was goofing around and put a rested shot on steel at 400 yards. It’s on my channel. The magazine disconnect is just a wire linkage under the right grip panel and can be removed in a couple minutes. A little exercising of the sear spring when removed will take over a pound off the trigger.
I've always been a Ruger owner. 2 weeks ago I bought the stainless 7.5 contour model. I'll be getting a threaded model asap
I have the Buck Mark URX Contour with the 7.5" barrel. It is a very reliable and very accurate little pistol. I like to shoot CCI Stand Velocity target ammo out of it. I mounted a scope on it to see what it would do and it will shoot quarter size groups with ease. I suspect it will shoot nickel sized groups for someone with better eyes. I have a Smith and Wesson Model 41 and the BM is a great value at less than half the cost of the 41.
A friend of mine in Pennsylvania died and his widow gave me his Buckmark. I love it!
Helluva way to get a gun ........ a good one though.
Two lucky guys
That sounds very meaningful, man
Erm, wow
Absolutely love my buckmark!
I just traded a glock for a buck mark. My wife was like “ I think that’s my gun,thanks baby”
I have watched a lot of 22lr videos and I just love this one. Thanks. Great information.
My buckmark has been by my side for almost 20 years. Best .22 pistol on the market in my opinion.
I worked at a gun store for quite a few years, and the buckmark was by far my favorite 22lr handgun purely for ergonomics and fit/finish. I never bought one, but I would love to get one some day.
Where to buy a Buckmark?
@@emilywright6616 I saw lots of them at bass pro shops.
This was my first pistol and I have had it for about 25 years. Very accurate, a blast to shoot. I have only had 2 malfunctions in the 25 plus years and that was an ammo problem. I will NEVER get rid of this gun I love it.
How is that possible? I get malfunctions all the time with my Buck Mark, cleaned or dirty. My gun is all but reliable, that is why I bought a revolver too.
I've always been a big fan of the Buckmark.
I put around 10.000 rounds a year through my buckmark. It's now 4 years old and it's still running like a swiss watch.
Thats $30,000-$160,000 a year. Impressive
@@post_historic it’s .22 so not close to what you said 😂
@@post_historic right now 22lr is 10cents per round. 10,000 rounds is $1,000 dollars.
@@kzoomin that’s what I’m saying
Hah! Just wait!
I bought mine in 1991. Love it !!!
I purchased mine in 1993 I love it and my friends loved it as well never had any problem shooting it ever never my favorite gun I have five of them that's my number one shooter thank you for your post
I'm in CA so most of these versions are illegal, but I'm gonna get one soon - thanks for reminding me.
Robert Jordan I just got one like this in Sacramento, doing the ten day wait now
Cleaning tip: Remove top piece(2 screws),set aside and spray the shit out of the inside of gun with PB blaster. Put upside down on rags overnight,wipe excess oil and put top piece back on,ba da bing! Ironically the browning ammo left a lot of residue,federal,winchester,remington run smoothly. Great video. Great gun.
The Buckmark is the only firearm I've had that discharged a round going into battery (dropping the slide). It was my only AD and to this day I will never own one. Luckily because I always follow safety to a t, no one got hurt.
The buckmark, very similar to this one, but alot older, was the first firearm with which I really began to practice and unsurprisingly my first gun was Buckmark Contour with rubber grips. Buckmarks fit alot better in my hand than Rugers and out of the box the trigger action feels better. Albeit a Ruger pimped up with Volquartsen parts is hands down the best .22LR semiauto I've tried. This is also the downside of Buckmark, it doesn't have such a wide selection of third party modifications as Rugers. Though, only an issue to those with too much money and the need to modify their guns - I'm neither of those.My Buckmark did have an issue out of the box. The magazine sat too high in the gun, which caused every casing to hit the top of magazine instead of the ejector pin. The casing were flying out of the right and left side along with some stovepiping in the gun. In the repair under warranty they filed down the magazine locking pin. It did fix the issue, but only with two spare mags I bought separately. The original magazine however sits too low and just barely fails to activate the magazine safety.
The rubber grip version does have a downside: the grip is somewhat difficult to take apart as it's single piece and it holds a few parts in place. The grips of other types are easier to reassemble due to being two piece, so you'll only have to hold one side together at a time.
Other than that it's a great piece, however I wouldn't shoot high velocity rounds such as CCI minimags. It's not as rugged as Ruger, which probably could survive a nuclear blast. I don't know for a fact how well it'll take high velocity rounds over time, but I've seen an S&W 22A wear out quicker with high velocity rounds when compared to standard velocity; both being aluminium guns.
I own a Ruger Mark III with a 5 1/2 inch Bull Barrel I was watching a video tonight and the guy said that the Mark IV is easier to disassemble than the Browning. Mine is actually easy to disassemble the hard part is reassembling it. Navy SEALS from what I know of use Ruger Mark's on missions. My Mark III is very accurate. The Browning does look nice and I know that they are accurate. The next .22 I buy will be a .22 magnum handgun.
Sootch I always like your reviews. You cost me $1500 for a Classic/Bula M14 and this Browning Buckmark 22 is now on my list!
I bought a Camper UFX Pro Target 5.5" in early 2014 and unfortunately, it came with a black blade front sight. I never really enjoyed shooting it because I couldn't see the front sight well enough to aim it accurately. Even painted the blade with nail polish, which helped some. Basically, I put it in a locked cabinet and there it sat. I think I looked for a replacement sight at the time and didn't find a suitable one. Just ordered a fiber optic one from Amazon, should be here in two days. Can't wait to get the Camper back to the range. It is a sweet shooter, never a misfeed and has a good trigger. Just hated the front sight. It will be like having a new gun! Thank you for the review.
I owned one for 5 years. It was okay. Reliable as any other decent .22 was never my favorite for a couple reasons. Biggest thing was I didn't like the teardown. I replaced it with the Ruger MK 4 about 3 years ago. No regrets!
Good review, sir. I like anything by John Moses Browning, and this pistol is no exception. Very good looking weapon.
The browning company hasn't had anything made by John browning in a long time friend he died before he even finished the browning hi power in 1926 and this gun was first produced in 1985 at least that's what Wikipedia says
I've had one since early 90s love it.
I love my Buckmark. It’s very accurate and feeds just about anything I put in it.
Except Remington ammo.
Price ... Pls ?
Fahad Khan Yousuf Zai $350 ish
Unless it’s old ammo and a not broke in gun then it has some trouble cycling
Great video, Sootch! I dig it! If it fire's .22LR it's cool in my book.
Btw,
Let the haters hate. They will spread your name 10 fold... 😁
Thanks Hillbilly! You gotta love 22 rimfire : )
Love my Buckmark. Laser beam accurate and eats anything I feed it.
Every time I watch a scotch00 review... I end up buying another pistol or rifle. Just purchased a Browning Buckmark Camper UFX. Great shooting 22lr pistol!!
That magazine disconnect is able to be removed in about 3 minutes in a very simple process. It's located under the right grip.
Excellent review as always.
Good to know about the disassembly instructions.
I have waxed and waned for years between the Ruger Mark series and the Browning Buckmark. I really like the classic look, fit and finish of the Buckmark but have heard that between the two the Ruger Mark series, especially the newest Mark IV has better functionality and overall reliability. I still can’t choose. I want both. The Ruger Mark IV has very easy disassembly now.
American Quality,I love my camper ss.
I have had a browning pump shot gun with an additional slug barrel for a long time and it is a fine weapon. I would suspect that this pistol is the same. I have owned the ruger Mark two it shot well but was a bear to disassemble for cleaning, I also have a colt 22 commander. it is a really nice shooter.
Buckmark fan forever. A good thing to get with a Buckmark, and other .22LR pistols, is the McFadden "Ultimate Loader" mag loader. Adjust the loader to your brand of magazine. Browning and Ruger are adjusted different.
Stick the magazine in the slot on the Ultimate Loader and shake the rounds into the magazine as quick as you can.
Mine is a Camper and I love it. I prefer the round bull barrel.
If I didn’t already have a Smith 622, I’d pick this up for sure.
I have had one for several years and love it. The trigger amazing. It's like your brain says pull the trigger and it fires. Thanks, Sootch!
Good review. Regarding magazines: These Buckmark mags look EXACTLY like Ruger Mk3 22/45 mags, with the exception of the floorplates. The actual metal mags are the same, as well as the spring, button, and follower. I have 7. I wonder who makes them for both companies.
Thanks Robert!
Mark 4 hunter has thumb assist on magazine. Gun all steel.one pierce receiver,all steel. No tools for disassembly.
Just purchased this exact model Buckmark with the slab sides and walnut grips. Love at first sight!
It's still in Commie jail, but I can't wait to jailbreak it for some much needed freedom fun.
I love this piece. I want one very much.
Sootch00, If only our 9mm pistol manufactures would make their pistols with the same fixed barrel, but mainly with the slide pulling back on the inside of the frame that way the rear sight stays in place because it's built on the frame instead of the slide. I want to see more 9 mm built that way because that means more accuracy at the range. I mean I'm in a 5 " group at my range with my little Sig P 938 @50 ft, but its taking me a minute to breath, concentrate with the hold to get the 5 inch group out to 50 ft. Don't get e wrong, I'm satisfied with the group, though I want a slight tighter group down range, and getting it all done in under 20 seconds instead of 60.
Thanks for the review, my choices are buckmark or the ruger mark 4.. however you mentioned the deal breaker here I don't want any with a magazine disconnect so the buckmark is now officially out.
BUT .. The trigger is so much better on the buckmark ... That's the reason I picked the buckmark over the Mark lV ..
The magazine disconnect is easily defeated with no loss of performance. There's even videos to show how. It's also straightforward with no wizardry.
I fully agree to your assessment, my favorite firearm to shoot!
Thanks Shanon!
When it comes to the Buckmark . I used to tell everyone that if I can see it, I can hit it.. My favorite gun.👍🏽
I'm not a semi automatic fan, but if I ever did go that way Id much sooner get one of these over a Ruger.
To bad Ruger didn't make their first Mark series more cleanable the 4 is supposed to be better but Caloco has dumped Ruger Mark series. My Mark 3 is supposed to be valuable now.
Your honesty is why ppl enjoy watching your uploads.... that and your outtakes at the end.. love it!!
I have 2 Buck Marks, one with wood grips. Eventually the grips become a little distorted and don't hold the slide lock and safety down properly. Too much of the gun is dependent on the grips. Most guns you just remove and replace grips without things falling out. Not Buck Mark. So be really careful if you remove those grips. Otherwise love the gun.
have shot competitively for many years and would not waste my money on a Buck Mark... as my Ruger Mark I out shoots them every time... I can hit a dime every time at 25 yards... weighs less and have never had a misfire or jam no matter what I fed her...
Sure you can
If you're not supposed to take it apart what do they suggest for cleaning? Just the barrel?...
Man about the one mag I just have to tell a story from today. I showed my friend a revolver I picked up (.22lr) and he shot it a few times and than we were talking (he doesnt know anything bout guns) and he asked me bro does it only come with one mag? Hahaha man I laighed my ass off then I told him its a revolver and it hasnt got mags. Few minutes later I realized he meant speed loader. Cause thats what he saw in a game...
Thanks sootch00, I appreciate you showing me how to disassemble mine that I've owned for a few months now. I love this pistol. I have that exact model except Rosewood grips, I also have enjoyed plinking with 22LR so much I now want a revolver to go along with my Buckmark. I am a big fan of Ruger and really need an opinion about the GP100 22LR that costs $699 or save $220 and buy the LCR-X, which is on sale for $479 at my neighborhood store as I write this. What do you think?
Great review!
Ok Sootch. I am sold. This pistol has been on my list as well and Cabelas actually has it on sale for 199. How can I not buy it? Thanks for another great review.
Scoot you should review my very ERY rare buck mark 10 inch silhouette model my son and I shotgun about 25,000 ends through it and 25,000 rinds through my Thompson contender. The buck mark has a 40 x leupold scope on it and the Thompson has a 6-18 power bushnell on it. The buck mark will still to this day shoot 1/4-1/2 minuet groups at 75 yards and approx 3/4 min groups at 100. At 40 yds is where chickens were set it produces 1 hole 10 shot groups. As long as you use Remington green box 22s . And high velocity 22s will just blow the groups all to hell, I tried 35 different kinds of 22 before settling on the Remington, I tried them all Eley RWS match stuff all I could find. I used to shoot 4 position 22s competitively for 10 years shooting nothing but anchutz 1413 free rifles so know a little about 22 shooting and was shocked to hell when I found out this little 10 inch buck mark would do as well and some times out shoot my completion rifle. So anytime you want to try it let me know. If you can find another 22 that will out shoot it that is not a modern day comp. rifle because I have not kept up with them out to 50 yds dinner is on me.
Thanks Leonard, I appreciate the heads up on the Silhouette model. Sounds like a tack driver.
I really don't care for the break down on this pistol....How about that Ruger mark 4 design ...That design is genius...
Danny Di you are so right.
Its an awesome pistol.Nice looking too.The magazine is a problem needs to be addressed.I like the Belgium made Brownings better of this one or any Ruger has. The new Ruger MarkIV are alot better rhan before.I would still like to own one of these. I do love the FLAT Sides on this gun.Just something that pleases me.Great Video SOOTCH00
Thanks Trey!
What's wrong with the mags?
Excellent review, good video. Looks like a really good target/plinking pistol
Thanks shipmate
God Bless (us all)
Thanks Fred! Always appreciate your comments.
God Bless
Nice video. I bought one of these back in the 80’s and still shoot it quite often. I’ve added a couple of accessories (grips and a red dot) and it still works great and is very accurate. You can’t go wrong with the Buckmark. Thanks for all your videos!
I own Glocks, Rugers, Walthers, Smith and Wesson and 1911's. This Browning tops them all.
12:11 If you have one of these pistols, order some extra buffers. They tend to break.
Or lose them while cleaning.
Flat out better than the Rugers. I think Ruger probably outsells these 5 to 1 though just based on price. This is much more of an upmarket pistol for discerning people versus an impulse buy at Academy Sports. Off a rest I can put 10 shots under a quarter at 25 yards with the basic bull barrel model.
The Buckmark Target Model was my 1st semi auto pistol, love it.
That is one good looking pistol! And as far as Confucius is concerned, every time he says something, I always end up being Confused.
Scootch that green building behind you in the vid, is that paint or oil stain?
What a fun gun
Thanks. Great review as usual. 1 question. How do you clean this gun?
Does brownie, make a left-handed version of the buck mark
I love my Buckmark, great to shoot, sure be nice if there was a after market charging handle available for my wife as she has a hard time with the slide.
There is
This may sound weird but I really like your camera angles while you're shooting. I try to recreate those angles with my camera while I'm shooting. You give me great ideas when it comes to shooting angles and back ground music. Thank you. Keep up the good work!!
Thanks NN! I appreciate the compliment.
NN Timberwolf youre right,that did sound weird
I have two Buckmarks of different ages and love them both, they have digested many many thousands of rounds and parts wear but parts are available! They are the perfect starter pistol for competition I have a Ultradot Matchdot on one and an Ultradot PanAV on the other and with the 2 MOA dot even a novice can learn trigger control without ever developing a flinch! I do wish they still made my Browning Medalist that surpasses everything else I have shot!
Ive always like the looks of the Buck Marks. Not sure Id buy one or not. I like the Rugers too.
I have the Buckmark Contour 5.5" barrel with the contoured rubber grips, love this gun. It feels substantial and balances well in your hand, the only thing I changed was adding the fiber optic front sight, really needed that. It's a lot of fun to shoot, great accuracy even for a duffer like me, I've run everything from CCI to bulk ammo, never had an issue except bulk is dirtier and requires a strip down clean more often. The take down isn't that bad, although you can't beat Ruger's Mk IV re-design. Only complaint is same as Scootch, mag release can be tough, I've tried to improve it but can't find that sweet spot.
I love my Browning Buck Mark! I have used mine for several years in Bulls eye competition with an Ultra-dot Matchdot Reddot Optic and CCI Standard Velocity ammunition. Good Stuff. Thank you Sir for a great review! makes me want to go and buy another one!
Sootch approved!!! Says it all!! 😀
Can you put one .22 Magnum directly to the chamber? It's bad idea or you can shoot magnum occasionally?
DO NOT attempt to shoot a 22 magnum out of this gun. Not chambered for it.
Lol nice scratch ya got there bud. Cool vid cool gun
Hi sootch. Thanks. Great review as Usual. 1 question. How do you clean this gun?
I have a Browning Buck Mark Bull's-eye Target model and It has a 7 1/2 inch bull barrel. It doesn't matter what 22 lr ammo it just keeps on running like the energize bunny. Absolutely love It, got it back in 2005 for 420 dollats and it has not failed me yet. Another great reviews Sootch00 and long live the republic bro.
Thanks Jerry! I appreciate your comment about your experience with the Buck Mark! Great handgun!
That's awesome Dan. Thanks for sharing
I knew you would love It Sootch00. I have 4 year old 22 lr's in the bottom of my military ammo can and the Buck Mark went through it like nothing was wrong.
I love my Buck Mark. It's not the newest model, but I've taken down three grizzlies, one charging rhinoceros and countless terrorists with it. There's really nothing it can't do.
Shalom soothh00, real quick please, I"m looking to buy a target 22 lr for range plinking, what is a better shooter and build quality, this fine pistol or Ruger Mark IV 22 LR black stainless?
Do buckmarks all take the same mags?
Yes
I own a 30yr old slab side it’s still like new and a tac driver and just bought a bull barrel practical today, you can never own too many buckmarks they are a lifetime weapon, when I go to that big shooting range in the sky my son will have these to hand down to his son
Absolutely something you hand down. You and the family should really enjoy this one. Great video as always.
Great shooter. Lack of spare parts availability keeps me from buying one.
I JUST purchased a Buck Mark, today!!! I can't wait to try it out. It feels like it's made to fit perfectly in my hand. Great video, by the way!
Thoughts 1 year later?
sootch00 I'm just going to lay it here: This is my utmost favourite gun review video on TH-cam. And I did buy Buck Mark after this and have not regret it.
U r meticulous and I sure appreciate that. Great video, I wasn't even aware of this gun. Looking forward to a quality 22.
I have a 1989 series 5.5 target model. It does not have a magazine disconnect. I think you can disable the disconnect by removing the right side grip panel then a piece of the mechanism between the magazine and trigger. At least that’s the way it looked in the parts breakdown. The original bookmark did not come with “ears“ but just a smooth slide which was hard to cock for people with arthritis etc. There are three slides available (he has the second interation)and you can interchange them. Much better now.
man thats like taking a rifle apart
Wow.. This looks like a really nice pistol. I liked this gun so much I tried to order a Browning Buck Mark UDX 22, but sold out and unavailable everywhere. What a shame. I wish Browning would consider producing a few more batches of this exact same pistol. I looked at other current production Buck Marks and did not like any of them as much as this one - so did not order any.
I bought my wife one of these. I shoot it better than i shoot my ruger mkiii competition slab side
I have a or bought a BM in 1988. Plastic grips, same barrel, but the top strap (sights) are held in with straight slot screwdriver screws. And just the spring and firing pin
It shoots great but the buffers are weak. Bought the new white buffer Browning redesigned.
I SHOOT Bumblebees but wont recycle, not enough power. Bought a Heritage RR six rds. A bit more fun taking out the carpenter bb.
