Yep! major improvement!
I do NOT like the look of the 'laminated' stocks on ANY rifle.

I like the wood .... nicely done

Thanks guys. At least now it is a 'warm & fuzzy' kind of ugly as opposed to the cold, hard ugly it was before...if that makes any sense. I pulled the factory installed 'muzzle device' off as well. Browning was kind enough to also include a thread protector in the box.

As for accuracy testing, I'll get there (I'm quite curious about that myself), but the 8 MOA dot on this Fastfire III isn't overly conductive to accuracy testing. Works great for plinking and steel, though... I'll need to mount a scope and put a lot more rounds through it before I can give an honest impression on accuracy, and even then, I would likely be the weak link.

Very interesting rifle. You guys are making it very difficult to behave myself. Now I have to research this.
Thanks Roddy

I think you might be surprised how accurate your Buck Mark can be - they may not be the prettiest looking 22LR rifle, but we have found ours to be one of the quickest handling and most accurate 22's in our stable. It is a really fun plinker. The only downside in our view is the 10 round magazine - it empties quick with this gun - wish they made a 25 round version. We have found this gun with a red dot to be perfect for varmit control around the farm.

Nothing stacks up with great wood like Walnut, but I would take laminate over those black polymer stocks, and most of the birch/beech stocks, though not always.

I also think the ones that appear more natural (wood like) aren't as bad as the crazy colored ones that sometimes approach bizarre

Have you ever bought one scope for one rifle, and ended up playing 'musical scopes' with just about every rifle in the safe(s)? That happened to me recently, and the little 4X28 Leupold that was on my 77/22 ended up here...seems like a good match. I'm looking forward to trying it out...this rifle has proven to be a consistent and fun plinker with the red dot (that got moved on to a CZ 512 carbine).
