I always wanted a Browning Buckmark Silhoutte. I found a guy with a barrell he did not want.
I bolted it on with a Simmons 6-18x40 Prohunter scope

I went to test with a Caldwell Pistol rest
CCI standard Velocity Ammo

Very nice! I saw a Buckmark Silhouette at a local gun show a couple of weeks ago and was pretty tempted, kind of makes me sorry I passed.

Yes sir a factory gun. I forget lol….but i think the model is a contour? The barrel is kind of triangular shaped.

A little "OT" but I have a price tag laying around that belonged to my since passed shooting buddy from one of his Buckmarks for $49.95. Those were the GOOD OLD DAYS!!

He was into pistol shooting and I remember a few of his "skeletonized" Buckmarks. Pretty strange looking rigs but deadly accurate.

That’s impressive. I was always drawn more to the Ruger MarkIV myself. However, I was never much of an absolute accuracy guy. And actually, the MarkIV’s were just for fun. For a time though, when I was an instructor & manager of a large indoor shooting range, I could do close to that 1-hole accuracy with Sig P226 9mm at roughly 15yards. And that was open sights & fairly high rate of fire. Though I was never about long range, total accuracy with a pistol. My entire outlook then was defensive shooting training. As many shots on target, within the triangle as quickly as possible.

Very nice though.

When they were first introduced, I just HAD to have the Buck Mark Varmint after reading Bob Milek's review. It did not disappoint and in fact was one of the most accurate .22 LRs I've ever owned -- and that includes rifles. I never really got into small game hunting with it, though, as it just didn't balance well for me. (Had I worked more on improvised stance, I could have overcome that, but I just didn't invest the time back then and eventually -- and regrettably -- sold it.)

Yours is definitely a shooter. Hang on to that one!

I didn't want to disrupt the factory forearm so I whittled up one outta cherry to mount a bipod

It really upsets the varmints around here!
