was told in a post on another forum that this was a good .22 cal for a n00b shooter. Anyone have any opinions? |

I believe you mean the "Buckmark" model? If so, yes, it makes a wonderful beginners gun. What sets the Buckmark above the others, IMO, is the fact that experienced shooters love them for their accuracy & quality. You can buy a cheaper .22, but not a better one unless you get a S&W Model 41 costing $700 or so. My .o2 |

I recently got a used (in like new condition) Buckmark Micro with smaller than standard grips and a 4 inch bull barrel for $175. It shoots well, and fits my wife's small hands, but is still substantial enough for me to shoot too. I would certainly recommend one with only one word of caution - I have heard many reports of plastic sight bases on the Camper model cracking. My Micro model has a metal sight base. |
