sauer Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 hiya guys my trusty old .22lr bsa superfive which im sure is older than i am is about done. so im looking for summit new to replace it...im fancying a semi-auto have looked at the browning buckmark carbine i think its called. fine for shooting from a motor but also from small bushwear hide. they are basically a long barrelled pistol with a stock added. ive heard they are really versatile ....was wondering...any of you guys used them ???? any experince of them???? cheers sauer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Baldy would probably be the best guy to comment, he builds them for SYSS. Personanlly I would recommend a GOOD semi over a bolt providing you dont go much beyond 80 yards with subbies. I use custom 10/22 derivatives, not bad tools by any means especially when teamed with Butler Creek mags. But I suspect that Buckmark, Volquartsons and the £1200 Walther are now better tools than mine which were state of the art 15 years ago. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 I would never take a semi over a bolt for accuracy but that's not saying I haven't shot some seriously accurate auto-loaders. To each his own. I would definitely buy a 10/22 Ruger. They are a tinkers dream and can be made to shoot very well indeed. I have several but my favorite for pure accuracy is a Ruger receiver mounted with a custom trigger assembly, a Green Mountain 1-18" twist fluted heavy barrel, and dropped into a high-combed, thumb hole laminate stock. With ammo it likes it will shoot 50M ten shot groups in the .3's until the action starts to get dirty. Unexpectedly, the 1-18" twist only causes stabilization problems out to 100M when I shoot 60 grain Sub Sonic loads. These will print sidelong past 20M. Fun guns.~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauer Posted December 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 thanks guys i dont do much over 80yrds with subsonics so it would be fine.... my old bsa is older than me and accurate as hell but i could nearly poke em in the lugholes with length of it. fancied summit "fleet" guy i know has one and is SERIOUSLY impressed with it. sounds like it would suit motor shooting or from my ickle bushwear hide. does anyone know Baldy on here then?? or exactly how to spell his ukvarminting name so ican pm him?? cheers folks sauer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldie Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hi buddy, I shoot a tricked out buckmark myself, but for gallery rifle, but have several friends who use them for rabbits out of trucks etc. They are a superb gun. The real beauty of them, is their reliability, they hardly ever jam, which cannot be said of any 10/22, however much is spent on it. They have a straight stick fed mag, which are reasonably priced as spares. Triggers can be stoned, although they aren,t bad out of the box, and they can obviously be shortened right down to the limit, then modded to make a real compact package. They come with a sporter weight barrel with walnut woodwork, or the heavyweight barrel with grey laminate furniture, which is my personal favourite. As accurate as any other semi auto, at rimmy ranges too, and pretty unfussy with ammo. Cant recommend them highly enough. Foxing 2 night had one for sale not long back. If you want a new one, we have them both in stock. Incidentally, if you get rid of your knackered bsa, keep its mags, they are worth money.

sauer Posted January 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 any of you guys work a CZ carbine at all? what like are they?? do they do synthetic stock carbine in left handed version?? better alternatives?? cheers sauer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I don't know about a "carbine" CZ lefty, but their American-series Left hand rifles are great. I can speak for the accuracy and quality of CZ. I have yet to see one that doesn't shoot very well indeed. ~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
