    Fiber Optic Front Sight for Buck Mark Black Label??

    in Steel Challenge

    Posted

    Hi All,

    I just got a Browning Buckmark.  It's the Shot Show 2017 model ("Black Label").  I want to replace the plain black front sight with a fiber optic; maybe a red-dot rear later on; we'll see....

    My gunsmith tells me that the front sight is not the same as that on most BuckMarks, and he can't find a Dawson to replace it.

    Suggestions???

    Thanks in advance; you folks have been an amazing source of info so far!!

    Woo-hoo!  I found a GREAT (ie, low starting bid...) deal on GunBroker.com on a Black-Label.  Put in a bid, and I won (I was the only bidder - go figure...).

     

    So my Buckmark should arrive in a few days.  I'll stick with Mini-Mags for a while, and get some rounds through her.  Actually, I'll probably feed her only Mini-Mags or CCI AR, since I HATE malfunctions...  Most shooting will be indoors for a few months. Next step will be a red-dot, but I plan to do that in the spring, just as steel challenge season starts up again in these here cold parts.

     

    Probably either a DeltaPoint or a C-More.  Y'all aren't shy - what do you recommend?

    Hi again, all of you!

    Based upon your input, I'm expanding my search.  Today I held a Browning Buckmark (slab-barrel; 5.5"), a Ruger 22/45 Lite, and a S&W Victory.  I totally fell in love with how the Browning felt in terms of the grip and natural pointing.  So I'm leaning that way, but my gunsmith brought up a troubling thing - the need to remove the sight rail in order to do a good cleaning.  But the salesman told me that I could do a pretty good cleaning without hassling with that step.  But I don't know; I like to really get in there and swab springs, etc when possible.  And for a 22LR, it seems that good cleaning is pretty important.

    What do you folks say?

    Thanks again for all the wonderful input!

    I've been shooting my husband's 22LR Ruger "Target".  I love the gun (and the Steel Challenge), so I'm starting to research what gun to buy for myself.  I will eventually put a red dot on my gun, but I will probably use the iron sights for a while.

     

    I found a poll in this forum, and it indicated that Ruger is very popular with this crowd.  I'm OK with that, but now I need to choose between all the available models.

     

    I like the heft of my husband's "Target".  I understand that excess weight could be a penalty in terms of rapid motion between targets.  But on the other hand, the extra weight makes it feel so solid in my hand.  Opinions?

     

    Also, I find that the beavertail on my husband's gun is sort of uncomfortable when I take a good, high, solid grip.  Any fixes for this issue?

     

    Thanks in advance for your input!
