Looking to purchase a Browning Buckmark Pistol .22LR. Would prefer one with flat sides on the barrel and with a fiber optic front sight but will consider any model. 5.5" barrel length a must. This one would be perfect. Please email or pm with any offers.

Good choice. If I had one, I would keep it. ;-)

Thanks for the heads up but I'm going to hold out for a while for the stainless, slab sided model w/ the fiber optic front
site. Actually might have found one in the classified on another board, waiting for a reply from the seller.

Can't say if Academy would have the pistol you want in stock, but it's been my experience that their inventory system is not good and I always end up visiting several different stores. I have a couple of Camper's in stainless with the finger grove grips and I paid 279.99. I've seen the flat sided models but I don't recall the price. Don't depend on them to call another store for you. I looked at one at a store for the model I wanted and they only had the display; it was missing the magazine. I offered them the price less the cost of a magazine but they wouldn't do it. I then suggested taking the magazine from another pistol -- no go. They called another store that supposedly had the pistol in stock. I drove there and no gun. I ended up going to the third store and they had it at an even better price. If you can put up with their long purchase process it may be worth a try.

I have one with the hi-viz sites. Great gun. I ended up red dotting it though. I like it even better now.

Yeah, I guess I will have to visit a few of the Academy Stores around here and just see what they have. Not wanting to sell one of yours, huh?
Thanks, Dean

Wildbill, this is it.
I found this one for $500. Looks like a good deal to me but I was really wanting one with iron sights. What do yall think?

That's nothing like the one in the original picture. I have never owned a pistol with a scope, but nothing says you can't have both.

Cant find one like the picture I posted. Browning says they are a year behind in filling orders.

That is one thing I noticed when I was looking for my Sig P239. There were so many different variations that I never could find the exact one that I wanted. As I said, you can buy this one and keep looking. Can you at least get a dealer to order one for you?

:thumbs2: Congratulations. I hope you enjoy it. Out of curiosity why did you choose this over the Browning Buck Mark 22 SE MS STD URX? This one has the slabside barrel.
