I am looking to put a full upgrades on my buckmark. I have a 5.5" buckmark with a Burris Fastfire 3. It has a bull barrel, but i'm considering adding an aftermarket barrel for increased accuracy.

What is the most accurate barrel avaliable for this weapon? Threaded would be a huge bonus

An aftermarket bbl will be no more accurate than yours unless you go with someone like Clark Custom. Their bbl may well cost more than your gun did, IMO.

A threaded option is someone like Tactical Solutions. Affordable & acceptably accurate, they're often chosen in order to be a suppressor host.

What *I* would do is buy a Browning Whisper, a threaded Buckmark model. Wonderfully accurate & a perfect suppressor host. Here's what one looks like:

Do the Heggis trigger spring flip.  Easy and makes a world of difference.

That is a must do for any Buckmark. Best thing you'll ever do to it for free. Frankly, it is probably the best thing most will do period.

The Heggis Flip is about all you really need to do to get the trigger pull lighter. If you have a bull barrel you really don't need to do anything else to a Buckmark. They're great shooters!

Are you looking for speed or accuracy? That Red Dot sight will hinder your quest for MOA or sub MOA accuracy, they aren't meant for bullseye shooting.

This is my Buckmark with a Bushnell TRS-25.

Last weekend, I put 4/10 shots into a Coke can sitting on the 100 yard berm, just using that window sill plate as a rest.  No bags, or anything else.



The only reason I'd go with an aftermarket barrel is to lighten it up, especially when leveraging a suppressor off the end.  Also, it might be a little slower to acquire the dot on the TRS-25 vs the Fastfire; the Fastfire is almost 2 oz lighter, though.

I bought a new Whisper Camper last summer and absolutely love the gun.  Over the winter I did the Heggis flip, but haven't had much of a chance to shoot it yet; it definitely lightened up the trigger!

Very accurate, very reliable with Federal bulk.  Mine doesn't seem to like Winchester ammo though.  With Winchester I have one or two failure to feed and/or failure to fires every 100 rounds or so.
