About a year and a half ago I picked up this Browning Buck Mark Rifle from a local place, $600. I had the barrel threaded, then just yesterday finally got the weaver rail modified to fit a UTG Leapers Over-Bore bipod. Put on a Holosun 507K, and just got back from an early morning target session at a friends' place.

Very well balanced gun. The UTG bipod holds the aiming point very steady. Very quiet with a Sparrows can. I'll probably switch out the red dot for a cantilever mounted scope at some point, but for now it just is a lot of fun being able to transition between target zones on the bipod with the rapid sight acquisition of the red dot. Wish the magazine wasn't so limited, but nothings perfect.


For those wondering why I chose an over-bore bipod, a standard sling-swivel or other under-bore(forearm) mounted bipod was inducing a lot of flex into the barrel. I tried bags, and stands too. I just got tired of my trigger hand being IN the bag in order to mitigate the barrel flex.

Also, I just think it looks [ridiculous &] cool with this style of bipod.

Aether tech: I kind of like the looks of that set-up!
My Browning BuckMark Rifle has a Leupold 2x7 variable scope on it.
Indeed the BuckMark Rifles are a lot of fun and mine is pleasingly accurate with Winchester 40 grain Power-Points - I use mine mostly for Ground Squirrel Hunting.
