[QUOTE="DocMatthew, post: 2799855, member: 28930"] Hey All! Been a while since I've contributed to the community but I figured I'd give y'all some updates. Owned zero guns prior to moving to this here free state and I've bought about one a month since moving here (2 years later and I wonder what my bank account COULD be). Its an awesome hobby, but a bit spendy... Anyway among the first of my purchases were a Browning SA-22 rifle and a Browning Buckmark. Many thousands of hard-to-find rounds later and I feel I made good choices! I did the spring-flip trick to the Buckmark and now it has the nicest trigger I think a man (or woman) could ask for. Feels phenomenal in the hand. She's a bit picky about ammo, really likes the expensive stuff. I've stocked up on CCI products whenever I can find them because I can cover a 30rd group with a dime at 10yd all day long with standard velocity stuff. She's not a fan of federal products AT ALL and can be picky about winchester. At least its good to know what to feed it! Also I picked up one of those little speed loader dealies for .22 magazines and its a peach (should work with Ruger mags too). I have a fair few boxes of the subsonic stuff but they don't cycle reliably in the Buckmark. Speaking of subsonic, my Buckmark does not have a threaded barrel (and I suspect SV will be subsonic in a 5.5in barrel). Anybody have any recommendations on aftermarket threaded barrels for the Buckmark? Considering a sparrow can at some point in the future but my heart is not set.. The SA-22 is a sweet little takedown. It will eat any ammo I throw at it and ask for more. The subsonic CCI ammo cycles perfectly without any issues also which is real nice to know. A bit of a surprise to be honest but a pleasant one. I went ahead and put a lefty trigger and safety on it so I can say it is definitely my rifle...
