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
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
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 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!
I've had one since early 90s love it.
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!
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!
Your honesty is why ppl enjoy watching your uploads.... that and your outtakes at the end.. love it!!
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!
Great video ! My first pistol was buckmark and I still like them after all these years
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.
Thanks for this review, Sootch. My 86 yr old dad is having trouble with working the slide release and we'll probably take the gun to a smith to have it adapted for arthritic fingers. He loved your review and now wants the wood-grain finish.
I fully agree to your assessment, my favorite firearm to shoot!
Thanks Shanon!
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
Agreed.. I shoot only walmart bulk ammo, and at least 1000 rounds per session with only 7-8 failures.
Unless it’s old ammo and a not broke in gun then it has some trouble cycling
The Buckmark Target Model was my 1st semi auto pistol, love it.
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!
I have watched a lot of 22lr videos and I just love this one. Thanks. Great information.
This is the pistol i learned to shoot with back in 2001. Our club have had the same pistol for over 17 years now and hundreds of thousands rounds fired. Its an excellent tool to learn to shoot pistols with.
Im all about sootch intros all shooting for like a good minute. That just feels right
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.
My father bought me one back in the 90’s when I was a teen. It was the all black version with the rubberized grip and gold trigger, a very handsome gun. Both of us had probably more fun shooting that thing than the full sized guns we’d bring along (many empty soda cans were slain by my hand). These guns are supremely comfortable to hold and shoot and it never gave me any problems whatsoever. Sadly we had to part with it for financial considerations around 2000, but I plan on buying one again in the future for sure after I’ve crossed some other guns off my list.
sootch00 I'm just going to lay it here: This is my utmost favourite gun review video on UA-cam. And I did buy Buck Mark after this and have not regret it.
That magazine disconnect is able to be removed in about 3 minutes in a very simple process. It's located under the right grip.
Absolutely something you hand down. You and the family should really enjoy this one. Great video as always.
I like your review for the order for your shooting of the gun first then talking about it. thank you !
Love my Buckmark. Laser beam accurate and eats anything I feed it.
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
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 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?
Bought a Buckmark standard with the bull barrel in 1985 when they first came out with them. Now 34 years later I still have it and it still shoots like a dream - like it just came out of the box. Have never had any issues with it and replaced the iron sights with fiber optic sight and the original grips with beautiful Browning walnut grips. If you are looking for a .22 for target shooting or just plinking, this is the pistol to get. Very balanced in the hand and is so accurate!
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!
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
Absolutely love my buckmark!
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 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!
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.
I own a 84’. Challenger lll slab bull barrel, which predates the Buckmark. I pal of mine had one, when he showed me his, immediately feel in love with it. Went out and purchased my own within the week. Not that I have a lot of pistols; but this pistol is my favorite to run. I will never sell or trade it ever !!
I want one for XMAS 2019. Love ANY Browning product, including clothes and boots.
FWIW, I bought this gun some years ago (maybe 10 - 15) and at that time the user manual had the disassembly procedure documented, and apparently recommended it for thorough cleaning.
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.
Excellent review as always.
Good to know about the disassembly instructions.
I've had one of these for 25 years, it's like it was made for my hand perfectly. Put a reflex sight on it a few years ago, looks cool and shoots great.
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?
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.
Love everything about my Buckmark, what a smooth firing pistol.
I own a Buckmark but haven’t shot it yet. I really liked your “No Nonsense” review of the Buckmark. Going to stick it in the rotation and get it to the range. Thanks
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 had a Buckmark with the bull barrel for about 40 years, I still enjoy shooting it. Still looks good.
Based on your review, I bought a Buck Mark and I am very satisfied.
Thank you for the recommendation. Great gun!
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.
Beautiful pistol. I especially like the wood grip. The magazine appears to be very elongated and I would have thought it wouldn’t hold more than 10 rounds. Looks like a lot of fun to take with you on a long hike. Thanks for sharing
Thanks FarWalker!
I've had mine for about 20 plus yrs its always been a solid shooter
Bought a Buckmark in 2021 -This same model.
Only issue I had with it was that when I first purchased it I had feed/ejection issues.
I took it back to the store I bought it from and was told High Velocity ammunition was required.
No where in the documentation is this mentioned. I had about 2500 rounds of Standard Velocity .22 LR ammo that wouldn't function correctly in this pistol and this was during this period when .22 Ammo was very difficult to get and expensive if you could find it. The retailer wasn't very willing to work with me in regards to returning the pistol so I kept it.
Now that High Velocity Ammo is available, I shoot it on a regular basis and it's an very accurate pistol and fun to shoot.
As with all Browning Products, a quality firearm.
Thanks for this video.
That is one sweet looking pistol, and one I've never owned either. Always been interested in these but for some reason I've just never picked one up. Thanks for another excellent video, and maybe this is the push I've needed to finally pick one of these up. Have a great upcoming weekend brother!
Thanks Fu, It's always a good day when you have a 22 LR pistol at the range. Take care Brother
I got this stainless URX model and it is a beautiful gun and fun to shoot. Took it out with my wife and she shot it for the first time shooting anything at all. She did really well with it. I went back to the range to adjust the sights and got to a 2 inch grouping at about 13 yards. The adjustable sights were easy to use. Only downside was that it came with just one 10 round magazine but got 4 more from MidwayUSA and problem solved.
Thanks. Great review as usual. 1 question. How do you clean this gun?
I just bought a Browning Buckmark Camper UFX from Palmetto State Armory online, of course I haven't actually gotten it yet, but from all the reviews I've seen, I can't wait to get my mitts on it. Thanks for the video!
Great review as always sootch00.
I didn't know about this gun until I saw your review. Yet, it's the perfect gun for me on so many levels. Thanks for your reviews Sootch. With so many good firearms like the Buckmark, why waste your good time (and ours)?

I've had a Buck Mark for about a year. I only cleaned what I could get to without any disassembly but that changed this week. Out of nowhere the Buck Mark started stove piping and FTF. So disassembly wasn't to difficult and it was gummed up. So now back to the range soon to make sure all is well again.
@@gg9xfrx4m30 A Jam-O-Matic can happen with any brand. 22s seem to be of the worse variety. I bought one of the first Ruger Mark IV Hunter 6.88" barrel 22LR guns that were made. It was a Jam-O-Matic so bad I took it right back to the Local Shop I bought it from. They were happy to send it back to Ruger. I got is back and it was better but still Jamming and FTF and double feeding. But it was recalled so back to Ruger for the safety issue and when it came back it continued to jam. 1 out of every 1 to 2 mags. Not acceptable. So I contacted Ruger directly and they paid to have me send it in again. I was called by one of Ruger engineers to get specific detail from me and do I told him any ammo would jam and FTF. He called me back a day later and said he was getting the same crappy performance. When it came back it was much better but still not perfect. 2 to 4 jams per 150 rounds. So it is what it is at this point. I had an exact same model but a Mark III and it eat everything and no Jams or FTF. It ran for 10,000s of rounds for 7 years. I sold my Mark III to a friend once I got my Mark IV. Big mistake. I offered my friend $100 more then I sold it to him for to buy it back. No deal. He saw my Mark IV behavior and won't part with the Mark III. I offered to trade my Mark IV even up for my old Mark III. No deal. lol
It is still in stock as I just bought one today in May of 2020. The only difference is that mine has a rail incorporated into the top. I also paid $495. But it helps keep my local gun shop in business. A hand-me-down for sure!
Good video. Your review gives me confidence that I picked a good one. I am looking at Buck Mark Plus Camper UFX Suppressor Ready
I love my Buckmarks. I have the Bullseye as my first one and a URX that I shoot bullseye competition with. With the Bullseye which was my first Browning, I shot a ruffed grouse out of the air with my first shot one time! It just points so well, like pointing your finger! You can remove the magazine disconnect on yours and it will function just fine. My first Bullseye did not have that feature, which is nothing but a pain. I hunt snowshoe hares with my Bullseye and frequently hit them on the run. And, I do not consider myself to be a great pistol shooter, but the Buckmark is an awesome gun!
I've had one for a few years and put on a budget red dot. If you enjoy the satisfied feeling of plinking dime size groups at 25 ft., buy this firearm. My favorite pistol for recreational plinking! I also have the Buckmark Camper, same set up, same results.
I bought mine years ago and loved it from the first shot. My only regret is I got it with the 4" barrel and I really like longer barrels. So, I'm thinking of a new barrel on the old girl. If you get one I'm sure you will not regret it 22 hand guns are a lot of fun.
Hope you was able to get a longer barrel. If not check out Midwest Gunworks. They have all OEM Browning parts. I got the 7¼" Bullseye barrel from them. It's heavy but just what I wanted. And some of those plastic buffer pads that deteriorate. Couple of those little C-clamps that retain the recoil spring. They either break or they fly off somewhere. Never to be found again. One of the nicest Browning barrels is the Contour barrel. It's sort of a triangular shaped barrel with rounded corners. Need to get a suitable length top rib. The top rib has a Weaver style piccatinny rail. Also, available in the 7½" length. All are available from Midwest Gunworks.
sootch00 I enjoy your videos. I am a big Browning fan I bought my first Citori in my mid 20's and it's just as good now as it was 30 years ago. I am picking up a 1995 Buckmark next week. It should be a nice challenge for my Smith & Wesson Model 41 made in 1959. You should review the Model 41.
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 picked up a used Buck Mark with five mags last year, the exact type you have in this video. I love shooting it. Accurate? It doesn't take long before a few little holes become one large hole.
U r meticulous and I sure appreciate that. Great video, I wasn't even aware of this gun. Looking forward to a quality 22.
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
I have had a Buckmark for about 10 years. Fine gun. I don't shoot very often, so I would estimate that this one has had far less than 1000 rounds run through it. The last time I cleaned the buffer pad, or recoil buffer, fell apart in 3 pieces when I took it out. I have not been able to find a replacement, even from Browning.
Best handgun i have seen in a long time i am going to get that!
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
Incredible and underrated pistol. Easily the best money ive ever spent. Twice. Thanks sootch for the good review! i would add the buckmark rifle (uses buckmark mags) was underrated and just as spectacular
I’ve had mine for close to 20 years, my first pistol. It’s now sporting a TK trigger and threaded barrel for my Suppressor. Much more accurate than my Ruger Mark series.
Thanks Brother
Scootch that green building behind you in the vid, is that paint or oil stain?
I have an older version of this gun with the slab side barrel. I used mine to compete in bulls eye competition. It did very well and so did I. Most of the others in the club had Ruger or S&W model 41. I did very well with my Buckmark and I think I was the only one using one.
Me to! And, sometimes I even beat the competition, but the Rugers are seldom too far ahead of me! I love my Buckmarks!
Great review!
Walnut and Birdseye Maple are really nice finished woods. Birdseye Maple is really expensive and seems hard to find anymore.
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.
My buckmark has been by my side for almost 20 years. Best .22 pistol on the market in my opinion.
Hi scootch; I've owned and fired a Buck Mark Standard since 1992. The old standard model is no longer available; but it is still the target shooting gun everyone in my family goes for when we go to shoot. I'm left handed, and the Browning is excellent for lefties even if you can't flip the controls. There have been thousands of rounds through it and probably less than 5 jams in all these years with only basic cleaning and a single tear down by a local gunsmith because I didn't feel comfortable doing it myself.
Looking at the newer models, the only thing I wish I had was the fiber optic front sight instead of the old iron sight, but you can't change that out on the old standard.
Oh, and don't use the currently available 3rd party magazine in the old Standard- it doesn't quite work well, stick with the Browning one which you can shop around for about $20.
I've always been a big fan of the Buckmark.
We live in LA, CA and purchasing our first gun just last night! We went with this one because of your review & the comments here. Thanks so much! My husband and I grew up in the South with a family of gun enthusiasts and hunters. We left for college to NYC then after 10 years made our way out West for our careers and were always the Black sheep liberal artists - LOL! Now we've proudly gone rogue to the Dem party! Tired of the hypocrisy since Bush and have enough life lived to see it. So thankful now that my Dad empowered me since a young girl to learn the ways around a gun, shoot and respect it. When we go home to visit, he takes our kids to the shooting range to the disdain of our California friends 😂. Anyhow, wanted to share a little of my story that lead me here to you and thank you! I can't wait to get it to our beautiful shooting range in the hills of SoCal! Best to you!
Hey sootch...how about a video on the Browning buck mark camper!!.for us guys on a budget!..we all love your videos !!
just bought one based lergely on you review, thanks
Great video. I noticed that the slide is different than the UDX on the Browning website (more grooves?). It also doesn't have the picatinny rail.
Bought my "Buck Mark Plus Lite Competition Red" today. Yeah, the grip was the best feeling of the 10 or 12 guns I held. The B.M.P.L.C. just BELONGS in my hand. Amazing feel!
It was an easy purchase after I realized how horrible other handgun's grips felt. Heirloom purchase? ... heck yeah!! If you get a limited production Browning, I bet it will hold or exceed it's value in time. My B.M.P.L.C in red is one hot looking and unique pistol!
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'm into old antique firearms and this has the look so im diggin it,most companies have trouble making a rimfire reliable and only few out there that can cycle reliably without issues but I hear positive things about this one
Sootch nice pistol. Love the slab side barrel. I own the Buckmark Hunter which I installed the Bushnell trs25 red dot. It is a gas to shoot. Browning quality is top notch over the Ruger especially the trigger. Great vid.
Thanks Dean! A little red dot would be a lot of fun.
Just bought this (similar model) for my Daughter and got a great deal at 340.00 at a local dealer and could tell its a quality pistol and she cant wait to shoot it. Had a hard time justifying a 250-300 sight so for now found a cheap one on line (but has 2800 4.5 star reviews). Was wondering how the fiber optic sights are working.
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!!
I have both the challenger 3 and the Buckman stainless slab side bowl barrel, I love both of those guns. Way more than all 4 of the ruger 22 pistols, and I've owned all 4 of them and didn't like them nearly as much as I do my brownings.
I have a Buckmark Silhouette with the iron sights on it, it's PRACTICALLY A SHORT BARRELED RIFLE. I got another barrel for it from Midway, 7.25" Bullseye barrel for $160 a while back. That shorter barrel makes it a little handier. I have a small case to put the pistol, spare barrel, 4 spare mags and the tools necessary to swap barrels.😁👍
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
Good job Man. Thanks!
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.
Don’t worry about some people say !!! You doing a great job !!!!! Thank you
