I was fortunate enough to purchase a Browning Buckmark Bullseye from a friend. I have tried to find out exactly what model it is but I cannot find a Buckmark with a similar makeup. Any help would be appreciated.
I've found several pics from Browning's website similar to the pistol that I own. The first pic is a Buckmark Bullseye Standard, the second is a Buckmark Bullseye Target, and the third is a Buckmark Nickel.
My Buckmark is different from all of these. It is definitely a Buckmark Bullseye of some kind since it has the same basic structure. The barrel is exactly the same as on both of the Bullseyes. It also has a gold trigger. But, where it differs is on the handle. The grips are the same as the Bullseye Standard, rubber, but the actual handle material is made of Nickel or Stainless Steel like the barrel of the Buckmark Nickel version. This is the one thing that throws me off every time. I have never seen another Buckmark with a Nickel or Stainless Steel handle. I have seen them with the Nickel or Stainless Steel barrel but not a handle. Has anyone else seen one like I have described? And if so, what might it be worth? I don't want to sell it, since it shoots very well and is also very fun and inexpensive to shoot. The whole reason I got it was (a) I wanted something that wasn't very expensive to shoot, thus a 22, (b) I got a really good deal on it from a friend, and (c) it looks awesome. If I get a chance later I will take a pic of it and post it so everyone can see exactly what it looks like. I also made some wooden handles for it out of some pecan wood I got when I was working on renovating an old barn. I'll try to post pics of those too. They help make it look a little like the target version.
