Not really a range report, and can't post any pics until my new PC arrives and I get it dialed in, but tried out the Buckmark Camper yesterday. Not a single problem. Ran 2 mags, one CCI 40grn mini-mag hp, and one CCi 40grn Velocitor hp. Bullets went to point of aim at 10 yds, from a Caldwell pistol bag on the porch rail - 5 rds each mag, then 5rds each mag standing. There was some scatter when I stood up and fired without support, but that's all me. With some more practice and control I should be able to hit the squirrels at the 30-40 yard distance provided I use the porch rail for steadying. I hate getting old, but the alternative is unacceptable at this time.

Glad its working out Gene. I had a couple buckmarks at one time the only thing I didnt care for on them was the plastic rear sight. Shooting off the back porch would be a real treat. Im jealous

According to their parts list, the plastic sight was discontinued some years ago. Currently aluminum.

Yeah, porches are cool. I shoot from either front or back. They're full length of the house.

Good to hear it it working out for you.
I can also shoot from the back porch.

All my back porch shooting is really shooting off our raised deck and it's all airgun shooting, but, oh yeah, I feel very lucky just to step out on the deck now and then and do some plinking.

Being able to shoot off the porch is a good deal. I bet it cuts down on door peddlers.

Haven't seen a single one since we built here in 2000. But we're not xacly on a main street.

Front porch faces SE. It's about 100yds to the tree line from there, and another 300yds+ East thru the woods to the road. I can shoot in every direction with any of my guns. I'd have to be careful with a long range rifle, but I have access to family property of over 1000yds for that kind of thing. I'm not a spray and pray guy anyway.

Google Sat view of the 4 or so acres around the house, but not all of what we have.

Nice property. Glad you like the Buckmark. I have a couple and they shoot as well as I am able to.
