Browning Buck Mark Challenge Rosewood Overview
The Buck Mark has been one of the most popular 22 pistols in America for decades, and the Challenge is the version built for shooters with smaller hands. Its grip is slimmer than a standard Buck Mark, while the long sight radius and light barrel keep it easy to shoot well at the range or in the woods.
Slim Challenge Grip
The Challenge grip frame is narrower than the standard Buck Mark, which makes it a good fit for youth shooters, women and anyone who finds full size target pistols too bulky. The engraved rosewood grip panels add a classic look and a textured surface for a secure hold.
Slab Side Barrel
The 5 1/2 inch steel barrel has polished flats and a slab side profile that trims weight from the front of the gun. At about 25 ounces the pistol is light enough for all day plinking and small game hunting but still steady enough for target work.
Pro-Target and TruGlo Sights
Browning fits a Pro-Target rear sight that adjusts for windage and elevation, with a TruGlo fiber optic front sight that is easy to pick up in daylight. The 8 inch sight radius is long for a pistol, which helps you see small aiming errors before they turn into misses.
Blowback Action and Trigger
The Buck Mark uses a simple blowback action with a single action trigger. The trigger is crisp for a production 22, and the gold plated finish is a nice touch. Takedown requires removing the top rail screws, so read the manual before your first cleaning.
Ammunition
Like most rimfire pistols, the Buck Mark is pickier about ammo than a centerfire gun. Standard or high velocity 40 grain round nose 22 LR usually runs best. Buy a few brands and see what your pistol likes.
Cleaning and Care
22 LR fouling builds up fast. Clean the breech face and chamber every few hundred rounds and keep a light coat of oil on the slide rails.
State Laws
