Browning Buckmark .22 semi-auto rifle review

Ordinarily, repeaters or semi-automatic rifles are not as accurate as bolt-action designs, but, as with most things, it largely depends on the rifle and manufacturer.

Browning has a good reputation for its series of target and hunting pistols from the US and it was an inspired piece of lateral thinking to lengthen the barrel to 18in and add a rifle-style stock, thus incarnating a super-light, accurate carbine.

At first glance, it is true it looks odd. Some may say ugly,  but those prejudices disappear as soon as you shoot it.
