| What's a good red dot sight for a buckmark...not looking to spend too much $ |
does a red dot sight really improve on the accuracy |
Iron sights/traditional scopes will always be more precise IMO, but red dots allow you to place rounds accuractly at speed. |
I've been using a BSA from Sportsmans Guide to shoot bullseye for the last two years. I think the sight cost me $35 and never lost it's zero. 22lr dosen't produce much recoil, so I didn't worry too much about durability. I eventually replaced it with an adjustable Ultra Dot because that's what I use on my 1911. On a .22lr even the cheapest scopes are probebly going to work for you.

I respectfully disagree - - a red dot will be more precise than iron sights. I agree with you about traditional scopes (magnified optics). |
| Installed a Bushnell Trophy Red Dot on my Browning Buck Mark Standard Field Grade about 3 weeks ago. I used a Tactical Solutions mount out of Boisie, Idaho. I have to tell you it made my pistol which was purchased in 1993 come back to life. The Bushnell is the model with 4 choices of reticle. Small dot , large dot, circle, or crosshair. And in addition you can turn the switch to red or green which gives you a choice of 8 different site pictures. The number on the box is 73-0135 and i was able to accurately hold 1 1/2 inch groups at 50 yards with the small dot which covers about 1" at the 50 yard distance. The rings come with the scope which is a 1"X28 mm lense. I cannot tell you what a difference it made it that gun. The barrel on this particular pistol is 5.5 inches and is not a target model. I used to shoot 100 yard competition in the metallic silhouette game but do not have the vision is used to have. Hope this helps. If you e-mail me maybe i can send you a picture but i do not know how to post pictures on the web. I guess the computer age is getting a jump on me. This is a nice set up and think you would be happy with it. |
You will need a supplimental rail to mount anything on a Buckmark. Most I've seen will accommodate weaver mounts on scopes. http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=325241&t=11082005 With the rail, and weaver mount scope will work. |
