The Browning Buckmark Camper .22 LR rimfire pistol

The Browning Buckmark has been around now for 25 years.  There are more than 20 variations offered and they have a reputation for accuracy and reliablity.

I'd like to share my experience with the Browning Buckmark Camper which is an introductory model to the Buckmark family of rimfire pistols.
 
The Buckmark Camper features a blowback action chambered for .22 Long Rifle and sports a single-action trigger.  The receiver is made of alloy and is matte blued finish.
The barrel is a tapered bull 5.5 inches in length and also matte blue finish.  The Campers grips are a black composite but give a nice soft feel and provide a secure grip even
if hands are damp or cold.  The overall length is 9.5 inches and empty weight is 34 ounces.  This makes for a nicely balanced pistol which tends to stay firmly on target while shooting.
  Magazine release is found in the typical location below the trigger guard and ahead of the grip.
A notable feature of the Buckmark Camper is the manual thumb-operated, sear-blocking safety.  Also, the slide remains open after the last shot is fired and will not fire without the magazine in place.
The magazine holds 10 rounds of .22 long rifle only.  The Pro-Target sight is adjustable by screw and has 16 clicks per revolution on both windage and elevation compared to the 12 clicks you get with other rimfires.
This translates into finer adjustments which helps with accuracy.
 
My overall opinion of the Browning Buckmark Camper pistol so far is based on pysical features.  It should make for an excellent target pistol for both beginners and experienced shooters alike.
 
Watch for my next blog as I plan to have some range time with the Buckmark and will provide details on its shooting ability and show pictures of the pistol
and how well it groups on target.
