I picked this up lightly used Buckmark Sporter today for $400.00 OTD. I just love the look and feel of this .22. It has walnut furniture and a 18" barrel. Very stylish IMHO.
It has a very nice trigger and I did not even have to throw money at it. 
It had a 3-MOA Korean S.P.O.T. Aimpoint clone on it in a QD mount and they are bringing better than $125.00 used these days. It's a very tough RD. I'll likely use the RD on something else and scope it by and by. I'll be on the look-out for a extra barrel to have threaded. This model was discontinued so it will have some collector value on down the road so I don't want to mess with the barrel that's on it.

As a long time Browning fanboy and owner of two Buckmarks, the Buckmark rifle is on my short list. $400 is a steal. One of my LGS just got one in and they're asking $650. Congrats and enjoy.

I pulled the RD off and used a old Simmons 4 X 28 compact scope I found some years ago. I never had anything it really fit but it fits the BBR just perfect using a set of split Leupold rings. Nice and clear to the edges for a compact too.
I finally figured out why I like the gun so much when I saw it.....It sorta has that Man From U.N.C.L.E. gun vibe about it.

Still catelogued I read over on Rimfire Central that they are making them again and a few have showed-up in shops but they were discontinued for several years. I guess that is why there are barrels becoming available again next month.

Nice find. Always wanted to see pics of your gun room, seems like your finding at least two nice gems every month. |

Nice catch. I have a Buckmark pistol and would love to have the carbine to go with it. |

Sadly there's not much in the Browning line that's inexpensive. Even their lower-end Buckmark camper pistol is around $350.00. |

They were listed in the 2014 catalogue. Who's making barrels? Aftermarket? Nothing in the Browning catalogue in the barrels section. Just shotgun barrels as usual. |

They are showing up on a couple different sites but with no picture. Says they will be available next month. The description does not say much other than 18" sporter barrel. |

I would love ANY version of this gun. I just can't find one for a price I'm willing to pay.

Last week I contacted Tactical Solutions,the last known outfit that made aftermarket barrels for the Buckmark rifle, and here's their reply.
XX,
We made one run of barrels for the Buck Mark rifle several years ago and do not have any current plans to make another. I will bring this up to our new products team. Thanks, Keith Feeley Tactical Solutions 2772 S Victory View Way Boise, ID 83709 [email protected] Phone: (866) 333-9901 Fax: (208) 333-9909 I replied with this message... Keith,
Thanks for the reply & info. There was some folks on gun boards claiming you folks were going to release some very soon. I'll pass this info on to those sites. But I think Tac Sol would be able to sell at least another run of these (fluted and threaded) and you'd probably sell all you make. This topic comes up regularly for those that have a Buckmark rifle. You folks would have a lock on that product offering since there's no one else is making one. Right now I use a couple of your 10/22 barrels so I like your products. I would definitely buy a Buckmark rifle barrel. :) Regards, If any of you have Buckmark rifles I'd encourage you to contact Tac Sol and encourage them to make another run of barrels, hopefully threaded and fluted IMO. |

That's nice but evidently Midway can get a sporter barrel but it's special order. Here you go. 
http://www.midwayusa.com/Product/560621/browning-barrel-browning-buck-mark-rifle-sporter Myself I'd prefer a factory sporter barrel. The barrel has to fit the forend to be of any use to me and it's plenty light enough as it is. I figure cut it to 16.25" and there will be plenty of steel there for a thread job. |

I got my barrel back today. My Smith did a fine job. I put it back together and found with my moderator it's only .50" longer than my RAR carbine without my moderator on it. I hope to shoot it tomorrow.

Have him cut off some more barrel next time. (NOT mine - wish it was though.)  |
