Has anyone actually BOUGHT a Buckmark RIFLE?

The one that looks one stumble from breaking off the stock and with a slide snicking back and forth right at eye level?
Do you like it?
It just looks WRONG to me.

It does look weird, but have you ever handled one? They feel great.
I don't own one but I got to shoot a bull barrel one with a red dot on it and it's definitely on my someday list now. :)

I have had the Buckmark Sporter about 1 1/2 years. They shoot great and handle as good as they shoot. Mine likes CCI ammo and is very accurate at 25 yards with the Stinger and Velocitor. The glo type sights are good. I have never scoped it but plan to jsut to see the accuracy increase. Byron

Agree completely! The first time I handled one I was impressed - if they were not so damn expensive I may actually consider buying one!

The rifle should be a kick in the pants!
Oh, and the eye-level slide?
It only moves back and forth the distance of a .22 LR round. Handguns are held at eye-level with their slides moving all the time, too. ;)

Yow, that's pricey for a .22.
Looks kind cool to me.

Here is a pic of their target model - looks like it would be a blast!

Had one with the carbon fiber barrel---Can you say POS?????
Should have known better from the crap BM pistol I had before--I like Browning A-Bolts(have 2 and a BL22)----but BM's are flat out JUNK!!!! Don't waste your money.
You would think a name like Browning could do better.
Don't ask me how I really feel---it would be unprintable on this forum.

As indicated, I have the Buckmark Sporter Rifle. I have the Buckmark Camper pistol and the Buckmark Micro pistol. Many rounds of CCI have gone down the barrels. My experience with Buckmark 22's has been excellent. Byron

i had the target model for a while and when i got it back from Browning repairing it i sold it.....i;'ve handled a bunch of Buckmarks over the years and still own one of the long barreled ones with the forearm and it seems to me that they have more failures to fire than most 22 pistols i've messed with.......i can take the rounds that don't go off with it and they run right through my 10-22.....i sent the rifle back to try to get that cured and also mine had started not shooting when i pulled the trigger....felt like the trigger mechanism was slipping off the sear or something like that.......i sold it for what i had in it when i got it back and later found out that browning had charged me 29.95 for fixing it....they evidently had my credit card on file from a previous purchase......DICK
PS....Oh by the way it still had the failure to fire problem when i got it back.....
