Page 2 - Browning Buck Mark URX Reviews

I just got mine for my birthday. I like the overall feel and design of the pistol. I have fired i many times and the break barrel action is getting easier to use

THE TRIGGER IS TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Buy something else. I can not pull the trigger with out really exerting my finger and losing my sight I am going to try and smooth this out and use one of the online videos on how to do this.. I can not really tell if the pistol is accruate because of this problem.

Comparing the Buck mark to my really old Daisy 747. I should have bought another Daisy. It is still accurate with a great trigger, but the rear sight is broken. That is why I bought the Buck mark.

Look and feel of a Buckmark. Easy loading of pellets. Easy to cock. Overall nice looking pistol.

TRIGGER !!! It's like pulling a cinder block with your trigger finger. All the reviews I read said the same thing. Front sight could be a little smaller.

I did a trigger job. Polished the metal with Flitz. Polished not grind. The metal isn't steel. I found a YouTube video on how to do it. It's easy, however it voids your warranty. But it's not a top of the line air pistol. Smoothed out a lot. It's about half of the pull it was. Acceptable. Easier to stay on target. Red dot makes it more accurate.

Great price, and except for being a little on the light side, does feel and point like a target 22 and is good alternative to going to the range. Not having to deal with CO2 makes it easy to just pickup for a quick session where you can shoot it as much or little as you want and just put it down.

As I am getting older, the stock sights are a little hard to see, with little contrast.

The trigger does get better after a few hundred pulls. Getting it zeroed also took me longer than usual, and some of this may have been getting the trigger to the point where it would break consistently. Eventually put the cheapest red dot sight I could find on it and that is holding zero. Accuracy is good enough, where the results will reflect how well you are shooting and not the limitations of the gun, something that is not always true at this price point. Been shooting it at 25ft and wouldn't expect much more than that out of it.

Good feel, well built for the price. Fun to shoot in garage or plinking outdoors.

Trigger pull is hard but expected for a spring loaded pistol.

It was up to my expections for a spring loaded pistol. Very good value..

Great little gun, easy to cock and hits where it's pointed. Keep you eye in without going to the range and wasting ammo.

Safter is kinds stiff

Decent pistol for beginner. Low cost ownership - no need for CO2. My 12yo son uses it for practice shooting. I do sometimes too. Accuracy and shooting comfort was my priority when I was buying it. Well... accuracy wise it's doing good. Rear sight is adjustable; overall sights are good.

Trigger is the major issue for me. It's too stiff for my son and even for me, and it's not adjustable. Trigger travel distance is short - so no complains here. Also, if you plan to buy for kid, keep in mind effort required to break the barrel - it's not very easy even for 12 yo.

The feel of the pistol and the breakdown barrel

Trigger is way too heavy to pull comfortably for me .I modified my pistol but you want to be careful when doing so . (In case you turn it up ) my trigger is much easier to pull now. Would also like for it to be much more powerful.overall the gun is worth when I paid

In my opinion the trigger is made too heavy to pull comfortably. It was so heavy when I first got the pistol I wondered if the safe was on when it was not on (I worked on my pistol 3 times before I got the trigger to be like I wanted it to be)

Accuracy, handling and ability to mount a sight.

Hire new lawyers. That trigger is rediculously heavy (on mine anyway). I could handle up to 6 # or so, which is heavy but this gun has about an 8# pull. Now it is unsafe because of that. Hard to tell if it is the safety is on or the trigger. That being said it lets off ok enough, just too heavy. I would pay $20 more for an honest $20 worth of quality. Still a great value.

If you sucumb to the YouTube videos about trigger mods. Be very careful and don't remove too much material. The parts are soft and will wear in a bit. The pull might get better with use, but not much. Remember the price point this was made to and you will enjoy it as is, or.....

Excellent! This air pistol is very feasible, easy to cock and load, perfectly balanced and for the most part super safe due to very intelligent auto safe-lock feature. Yes, it is under powered, out of box needs sights adjustment but after 30-40 pellets through it shoots fairly constant groups ( i was able to hit a fat metal electric pole three times at 35 yards distance consecutively... Pfff..-zing! -Happy!,, three times). The best part is perfect weight-balance that allows one hand aiming, light but solid feel like it is German not Taiwanese, slim look that resembles original, and that said lots of practice. (i caught myself sounding like Paul Capello, but he did not make review so i did..).

Absolutely nothing, it does what it is meant to do. (looking at other break barrel pistols they look like some siphon devices, utterly heavy unless you are Schwarzenegger, and with no practical meaning due to beefy sizes that can injure just by carrying it around).

Other than co2 pistols this is the only air pistol that fits, feels and resembles the real gun. Great for target and "pistol" practice.

This appears to be a quality pistol especially in light of its lower price. It operates smoothly and is finished well. I haven't put alot of pellets through it yet. I bought it for a homeowner who is being pestered by deer and it is working well for that.

The front site seems to be more than big enough but it's a great value for a solid pellet pistol.

I first used Beeman 1222 pellets which I think are 7.2g but then tried some H&N Sport, Field Target Trophy Green pellets which are 5.5g aluminum and they seems, at first with no extensive testing, to work a little better.

I like not having to use CO2 cartridges with this pellet pistol to do a little simple plinking. Much less expensive to shoot. Back yard friendly.

Nothing.

Easy to use, quiet, accurate. A good trainer. Not large or top heavy. Does not require a barrel extension for charging.

Nothing. Exactly right for my use of indoor target shooting.

I had a chance to compare a current production (2018) example with an earlier example purchased in 2012. The current production has a noticeably lighter trigger pull and the lock up of the barrel is more positive. I noticed that the conical barrel latch now has a flat surface on either side and seats more deeply. My 2012 pistol has had a trace of play in the barrel since I purchased it, but since this did not affect accuracy it hasn't been a problem for me, it shoots as well as the new one, having done nothing to it but put a drop or two of oil in the air chamber every tin of pellets.

Absolutely everything.

More power.

You will be happy with this pistol.

It is balance nice feels good in your hand

The barrel is crooked so its you cant sure it in every time you caulk the gun the sites change ok if you are shooting at a 4 inch plate at 8 feet but not recommended for accuracy

Easy to cock. Accuracy is good, just a lot of fun.

Bought on ebay and was sent the wrong item, so I returned it and the seller ended up accidentally sending me 2 and told me just to keep the extra. The first one shot way to the right. When sighted in, my red dot was way left of the front post. Accuracy with non lead pellets (my preference as I shoot indoors a lot) was bad. However the second gun I got shoots very straight, and shoots everything well. I would not have been happy with the first one, but am very happy with the second. So could be hit or miss.

I love this gun. More fun in reality than it is on paper. Also, I chrono'd H&N Field Target Trophy Green (non-lead) pellets. They weigh 5.56 grains and velocity of about 7 or 8 pellets averaged 380fps, with some a tad over 400 and some in the 360 range. There are non lead pellets as light as 4 grains that would probably be even faster. And all the non lead I've tried have shot well. Very fun gun. And I use it to discourage squirrels from tearing up my yard without causing them any real harm. For that I use 4 grain wadcutter non lead pellets from Gamo. I did not chrony, but being flat I am sure they are not penetrating the squirrel pelts. They just jump and run off, wondering what the hell that was. :)

I never grow tired of this Browning buckmark URX .177 cal pistol! I have consistently chronographed it shooting Crosman fast flight 5.4 grain penetrators as high as 413 fps!!!! I am impressed with the breach and how it is angled, which makes gamo lead roundball work great in this gun!

I don't think anything needs to change about this excellent spring piston air pistol, but I would love to see a URX Gen2 new version that is chambered for .22 caliber pellet and roundball. There are many variations of the real steel BM to choose from to replicate in spring piston format. I imagine it could be easily designed to work like the .22 cal Beeman P1 or a Hi-score 800 where the entire upper is the cocking lever. Just imagine a .22 cal Buckmark URX Gen2 that shoots Crosman hollow points 450 fps!

Shoot safe and love your airguns.

Very good price for the level of accuracy it gives, especially for a pistol, mine consistantly groups 5-shots under 2" @ 15ft. distance. Has a very ergonomic shape and integrates a top picatinny rail, which makes mounting optics or laser sights easy.

I would add some contrast dots on the sights, cut trigger pull weight in half (although it is virtually creep free), and increase barrel length another inch and make the barrel shroud out of metal (or no shroud at all, just a full diameter bull barrel, lol)

Cannot be beat for the price, extremely fun to shoot and is a great way to train women and youth on pistol shooting principles at home in the garage or wherever a pellet trap can be sat 10-15' away.

Easy to cock, very nice ambi grip, adjustable rear sights, robust well made gun. Rail on top for easy mounting of scope but open sights are pretty good. Rear sight could be more prominent as mentioned previously, but otherwise is an elegant design.

The trigger could be better. It's a pretty tough pull so one really needs to pay attention to aim and control their pull the whole way through. But I've used worse in airguns. Seriously, straighten out the trigger to a gentle curve rather than a tight semicircle and utilize a lever between the trigger and sear to lessen the effort and there wouldn't be much to complain about.

I took a small file to the sharp edges of the trigger to improve comfort. I believe the trigger is aluminum. Honestly I was definitely surprised at how good the gun is. I shot it pretty heavy for the first two weeks (albeit a 5 yard indoor range) and as I learned to control trigger pull and aim it became clear this pistol was designed to shoot well, not just look like a replica. In fact, having shot the Buckmark firearm, I prefer this pellet version. Can't give it 5 stars because it isn't perfect. But yeah, if you are looking for a plinking pistol that will reward you as you become a better shooter this one won't let you down.

For a lower price plinker, the buckmark is well built and extremely accurate.

A bit more velocity but still, it's great for punching paper and plinking cans.

I wasn't disappointed at all with my purchase.

Very accurate! Eats most any pellet with good results. Super easy to cock.

Would be nice if rear sight was a little more defind.

Buy this gun!!! Not the most powerful, but a "GREAT" shooter for the money!
