Page 3 - Browning Buck Mark URX Reviews

Looks cool. Shoots quite accurate at my 5 to 7 yard Shooting area after figuring out the trigger.

The trigger. Both the shape and weight of pull. I prefer much less curve.

Have well over 1000 rounds through it and is holding up nicely. Think trigger may be a little better after breaking it in. Or I just mastered it. I can easily hit center most of the time.

Good looking, good feel. Easy to cock.

Pistol stopped cocking after 3 days of shooting. Contacting Umarex tomorrow, although I have not had good customer service with them in the past. Running through the cock cycle, full travel is noted, the auto safety still works, but the spring does not release.

Use a bore snake to clean the barrel before firing. Take time to learn the hold that works for you.

This little pistol is well-made and light enough for everyone to use. At $44.95 per unit, it really is a fun little plinker on paper targets and soda cans out to 10 yards. The cocking effort is less than 20 pounds, which makes it easy for just about anyone to use. The sights on my pistol were pretty close to point of aim to begin with, so I would work with those (very easy to use,) first before buying any type of aftermarket sight. The molded rubber ergonomic grips are excellent, and are very comfortable for those of us with big hands. The report from such a low-powered pistol is negligible, which makes it suitable for indoor/outdoor use.The safety comes on automatically when the pistol is cocked for every shot.

Southpaws will probably have to take a minute to reach over with their non-shooting hand and take the safety off, so the pistol is not totally ambidextrous. Also, I wish Umarex would offer this great little trainer in .22 caliber; I'd buy another one in a heartbeat!

This gun runs about 320 fps with lead pellets, so it should not be used for hunting or pest-control purposes. The Crosman Premier Hollow Point Hunting Pellets fit a bit loosely in the breech, but my pistol loves them and they give excellent groups. Whatever lead or non-;lead hobby pellet that you elect to use, the Buckmark URX likes them to be lightweight. The gun is not heirloom quality, so care should be taken when closing the barrel after loading to make sure that pellets don't fall out or have their skirts damaged as the pistol is made ready for firing.

Comfortable, easy to cock, quiet.

The trigger feels a bit too stiff.

I apologize for posting the same review for two products. I own the following air pistols that I had a chance to compare: - Tau 7 Junior - Daisy Avanti 747 - Browning Buck Mark - Umarex Strike Point Tau 7 and Daisy 747 are excellent - on the mark all the time. No complaints. The only thing I don't like about 747 is it's a little bit hard to hold with one hand if you have smaller hands. Buck Mark: Good things: very comfortable in hand, very easy to load pellet to the barrel, extremely easy to cock (one of the lightest effort, I must add). On the other hand - it shoots far to the left consistently. But it's fun to shoot, for sure. And, considering its very low noise level, shooting inside is not a problem. Strike point: bulky, but not heavy, relatively accurate (although it takes a bit of time to get used to the blunt front post with not very bright "red dot" plastic insert), relatively quiet. Daisy 747 feels better in hand, but for its money and, considering the variable power, seems alright. On the other hand, with its squarish shape of the grip it is not as comfortable as Buck Mark. The reason I am putting the same review for both pistols (Buck Mark and Strike Point) is because I want to say this: if you have an urge for a comfortable pistol to shoot - go with Buck Mark, if you want more accuracy - go with Strike Point. Both are good for quiet shooting sessions at a short distance, especially considering their price.

Very nice replica of Browning Buck Mark even has the logo! Easy to cock spring pistol so no CO2. Scope railing ready to go! Quiet indoor shooter and suprising accuracy with the right pellets. I am very satisfied with this pistol would like to see some more spring powered replica pistols from Umarex Fun shooter! hit cans out to 20 yards!

Nothing ! Maybe the auto safety is not needed but ok for young shooters

Very good for target practice indoors offhand. Get one!

Easy to cock and load. Built in scope/red dot base. Inexpensive. Accurate. Well balanced. Pretty decent trigger.

Not much. Like all spring piston guns, you can feel a slight jerk when you fire.

I love this gun. I have bad eyesight, so mounting a red dot is almost a necessity. Wish more guns made it so easy.

It's a little light but feel good to shoot. Would be great for younger people. Cocking is very easy, and a great low budget plunked. Shoots straightand true.

Nothing at this price

So easy to cock and load, looks like my 22lr buck mark camper right down to the rear adjustable site.

Clean the mold seam off the breach area to help the seal out. My first auto safety, I don't like it.

Fun low power gun for indoors, that can still wack a can at 25 yards.

decent short range gun(15-20feet) very easy to cock and load,seems a bit underpowered, good balance, feels good,looks good

sights way off,front sight way to high,i had to modify

good plinker at close range, ok for young kid

It looks really good, it's very light,it's good for what you pay for it

Give it more kick

It's just not what I thought it would be, I was looking for more gun

great looking replica that doesn't need co2 , because it is a break barrel one shot pistol. It has a picatinny rail for mounting scopes. The rear sight can be adjusted for windage & elevation

The picatinny rail is 22mm center to center 4 slots, but should be 10mm center to center to allow red dot scopes with 40mm mounting.

Can shoot all day without painful hand.

Shoots way off to the left.

Nice-looking, accurate, feels good, light weight, quiet. Perfect apartment gun. Could also be used to scare off intruders or shoot carpenter bees.

A globe over the front sight would make it easier to cock, like on the HW 70. Rear sight notch is too shallow.

Ideal 1st air pistol. More accurate than any BB gun.

Ease of cocking. Vertically and horizontally adjustable rear sight. Balance and feel of pistol.

Less curvature of trigger.

Pellet velocity is great for target shooting.

Excellent reproduction of the Browning BuckMark. Look and feel is remarkable

Make the safety manual rather than auto-safe

Widening the rear sight lets in more light for a long arm gunner like myself, but if you hold it two-hand up close, then the slot appears wider.

Very comfortable (ergonomic), easy to load, short range accuracy, very quiet , well made replica for the price.

Improve sights and increase power

Have ordered a red dot sight to make up for original sight and improve accuracy. This will not drive a pellet into wood but will punch through paper or knock down cans etc. Optimum effective range for accuracy is 10 meters with right pellets.

Right from the start I liked how this gun felt to hold and how well designed in a simple elegant way this air pistol is. I like the the auto-safety and the Weaver rail, rubber grips and the cocking mechanism and just about everything else about this air pistol.

Why couldn't this air pistol shoot harder? It would be one of my ultimate favorite air pistols if it only shot normal 7grain lead pellets around 430-495 fps.. I also wish it was built so it could be dismantled and repaired when it breaks instead of being disposable.

Care for your air pistol and lube the break seal with the correct lubricant.

Great gun. It's got a solid feel, tough looks and nice motion. Great trigger feel for me. Intuitive yet not troublesome safety design. Accuracy isn't bad at 25', I can hit a 4" target 30% of the time.

Like the other review(s) state, the rear sight is awful mainly because the notch is too shallow.

I'm very happy to have selected this as my pellet hand gun.

The gun feels very good and points well. For the price point it is a good gun for casual basement shooting or teaching younger shooter how to shoot safely.

The rear sight is awful. The notch is very shallow and even with the sight completely to the right I still hit about an inch left of POA at 15 feet which is very disappointing. I will probably do as others have suggested here and get a red dot so I can make POA = POI.

Aside from the rear sight the gun is good for the price point. Be sure to run some patches through the barrel after you get it out of the package and then again after every hundred rounds for a while until its broken in.

The low cocking effort makes it enjoyable to shoot for hours at a time. Comfortable grip for smaller hands. For a low price air pistol, nice heft and balance due to being mostly metal. Looks quite similar to the actual Browning it's licensed from although more like a composite of the variations Browning produced. Warning verbiage stamped into the receiver is subdued rather than colored to stand out like so many are doing now. Doesn't seem to be as difficult to master shooting accuracy as I was expecting based on my experience shooting spring air rifles.

Use a more visible open sight than just the black-on-black. Reduce the trigger pull effort. Reduce the effort necessary to work the safety.

I've read complaints about the breech not locking closed solidly. Mine showed this problem. Turned out to be the fault of how the spring loaded locking pin is made. It has an axial slot in it for a screw to keep it captured in its spring chamber. The locking pin is molded metal and some flash in its retaining slot kept the pin from extending far enough out to seat under pressure into its mating pocket. Dressing the flash out of the slot with a small file remedied this problem so the breech is immobilized and the o-ring seal is completely seated. The rear sight's windage platform didn't sit down well on the sight's base so it could rock about. A thin plastic shim snugged up this clearance. Using both RWS 7.0 grain wadcutters and Crosman 7.9 grain pointed lead pellets gave velocities in a range of 309 to 326 fps which seems acceptable considering the low cocking effort. With a lot of discipline squeezing against the high trigger force, I'm able to get some nice 1-inch groups at 16 feet.
