A buddy of mine bought a Buckmark back in the late 80s and at the time I didn't realize how much I would want that gun 20 years later. A couple years ago I bought a Ruger 22\45 and one day I was at the range next to a girl who had inherited a Buckmark about the same vintage as my buddy's. She offered to let me fire it and I honestly never fired my Ruger again after that and sold it. The Buckmark was so smooth. Anyhow, I picked up a new Buckmark Camper this evening. Looking forward to getting to the range with it!
