How do you suggest you clean it before use? and do you like the sights on it? or would you prefer the fiber optics?

[aunsell]

@HippoShag123 It comes with a small allen wrench. I would totally take it all apart the first time and clean all the packing greas off of it and then lightly re-oil it. I like them because they are low profile target sights and very easily ajustable. A Red Dot would be nice and u could do some speed shooting. I might get one some day.

i just bought a new browing buckmark will not eject casings i use winchester and federal, don't know what causing it i have took it back to gunsmith to check it out not a happy camper now hopes gunsmith figure's it out

@poppy56 Did it get cleaned really well before shooting it the first time. They put tuns of packing greas on it and that all needs to be cleaned off or that can cause it to malfunction.

Give it a real good cleaning and try that, and don't put much oil at all.

My wife just bought one for herself for target shooting at the range. She loves it, I love it (jealous, now i want one of my own!). We've tried different brands of ammo- but the one that works best is the CCI mini mag 40gr ammo. Very consistant rounds, lower recoil, all around good round. Federal Champion performed the worst- rounds went everywhere but the target.

@that70sguy1975 Youre right. I like the CCI stuff but it is a bit more expensive so I generally get the bulk stuff and suffer through a few duds for the cost saving.

Remington bulk just doesn't work well in any gun. :)

Thanks for the review.

@RickyVoorhees

Winchester bulk mostly, NO Remington though

Try using 40gr high velocity with semi autos. the hollow points weigh less and have a slightly lessor charge. The 40gr high velocity provide that extra umph needed to cycle some auto and besides the hollow points tend to catch on the feed ramp causing a jam easier.

As you run this gun more the reliability off cheap ammo will improve. One of mone has well over 5000 rounds through it and it will run any ammo.

remington ammo does not go well with any firearm in anything less than centerfire...

Speaking about 22 ammo, 22 LR firearms can be very picky about ammo! I got a CMMG 22 LR AR-15 upper a few months ago, I had some old Remington 22 LR that I shot in this carbine and it functioned perfectly, about 300 rounds without a single problem, so I went by Bass Pro and bought a bulk pack of new Remington 22 LR, figuring it would be fine, this new box of 22 ammo jams every single shot, I can rarely fire 2 shots without a jam, so that box of ammo I'll have to use up in my revolver.

Federal "Champion" .22 LR (brick of 525) is cheap and works perfectly in both my Buckmark and SW 617 revolver. Remington ammo will never be used in any of my guns. None of it has ever worked well for me. Winchester bricks of 525 also misfeeds, fails to eject and failure to fire in all my .22s. Federal goes for $14 when on sale at Cabelas. When it gets that cheap I buy at least 10 boxes.

I got my Buckmark last week and I fell in love with it today when i went to the gun range. I used Remington ammo and it worked perfectly. I guess I got lucky.
