Accurizing Buckmarks?
« on: July 03, 2009, 07:03:53 PM »
Hey guys, I have a quick question.  I bought this Buckmark two years ago.  It shoots pretty good, not as accurate as I've liked, but I dealt with it because it was a new gun.  After putting 5-600 rounds through it every weekend I'm a lot more OK with it now.

So, what all is available for these guns?  I really like her and she shoots pretty decent, but honestly, My S&W 22S is many more times more accurate..so I'd like to take the gun I like to shoot and bring it to where it should be.

Here's the gun:

How is the trigger pull? Check the crown also.
If that does not help I have heard good reports on the Tactical Solutions barrels.

The trigger pull isn't necessarily bad, I would like for it to be lighter though.  My biggest issue is that I don't have a local smith I could put any trust in.  Do they sell anything I could do myself to lighten it up some?

The gun is in excellent condition, there's not a single blemish on it anywhere.  Are you suggesting I get it recrowned?  That I could probably trust to the local guy, not much wrong he can do there. 

Anyone here have one of those Tactical barrels they can speak 1st hand of?  I was looking at the 7 incher.

I would only worry about re-crowning if it needs it, inspect the crown under magnification to tell.
Here is a quick search at Brownells for Buckmark triggers.

Also do a search at Rimfire Central, they have allot of information on Buckmark trigger work.

Change out the trigger with one that has an overtravel screw.  Or if you can, drill and tap the existing trigger and install your own.  I've done both and it makes a big difference.

I haven't found a Browning barrel that wasn't capable of excellent accuracy.  With the "pencil" barrel, it would benefit from the added weight of optics.  Lighter isn't better when you're looking for small groups.
