Have a buck mark hunter. With a scope at 25 yrds rested on a bag it will do 1" witch is good for me. Its hard to find a holster for though. Am looking to expand and would like a mark 4
I have a browning challenger II…nice plinker
Mark iv target, tandemkross blast pack, tandemkross victory trigger, Volquartsen grips——–one of the best I’v ever shot.
My buddy has a Colt Woodsman and I love whenever I get to borrow it. I can hit further with it than any other I’ve tried. If they weren’t so rare and $1000+ I’d have one by now.
Hi what size hogue wrap slip on grip do you have on the buckmark?
I’m confused regarding "Target" vs. "Match" . Most of the .22s in your top 5 use to be called field guns. The Hi Standard Duramatic (M-101) was a late model made as you said in the early 70s, Hi Standard went out of business in 1984. I have four Hi Standards An M-104 Sharpshooter which did not have an adjustable trigger, The rear sight was adjustable but mounted to the slide and it had a bull barrel, The M103 Citation has sights on the 8" barrel with a slant grip and muzzle brake. I have used it in competition for year. The M107 Military grip Citation with a 7" fluted barrel and finally a M107 Victor. All but the Sharpshooter are considered "MATCH" grade. I have a 1967 Browning Challenge which is a "Field" pistol but has adjustable sights and a 6" barrel but is not near as heavy as the Hi Standards. and I have a Browning Medalist which is a MATCH pistol with the same trigger and frame as the Challenger. I no longer shoot bullseye matches but all of these firearms are incredibly accurate. I have a Ruger MKII Target, but it needed a Volquarzen kit and decent aftermarket grips to perform at all. I have shot the S&W Victory and the one I shot was really good out of the box.
Hey plinkster , can I ruin my sw victory by shooting stingers? A guy on youtube said hypervilocity ammo should not be used in semi auto pistols.
Buck mark is my go to rim fire pistol. Thousands of rounds with no issues. My kids love shooting it.
I got a Mark II when I turned 17, and I haven’t carried a 22 rifle for hunting every since lol.
My vote is the SW22 Victory. I make a custom tool exclusively for the barrel lug to tighten and remove the lugs in a snap . It is one of a kind !
All the custom work and barrel changes etc….this tool you need ! A major retailer might be marketing these soon, but email me if you want one…thanks
Actually i am not sure which version i own now. I have the Ruger Government Competition slab sided model 22 and its an amazing shooter. Not sure if its designated as a mrk 1 2 3 4 ????
No love for the Reising .22 target?
S&W Victory is garbage and ugly.
No Smith and Wesson 41?
Have you shot a Browning Nomad? I wonder where that would rank?
Did you ever do the 22lr match top 5? Would be interesting. Woodsman Match Target (2nd ben is my fav) S&W Model 41, Browning Medalist, HS Supermatic Citation and Ruger/Volquartsen would be my choices
The Browning Buckmark that I bought back in 1990 is still the gun that I and my relatives gravitate towards when we go to the gun range. UNLESS we can convince my Dad to bring out the Whitney Wolverine, which everyone who sees it totally geeks out over. Since my uncle passed away and Dad got his Wolverine- which is the Nickel model- you can draw everyone at the range.
I own a colt pre woodsman made in 1928. 95% original bluing and very accurate. I shoot sub sonic rounds. Love it.
I guess the H&R 9 shot revolver didn’t make the cut. Haha
Mark II hard too clean ….
Great video.
Some will say ruger not number 1 , but sales say they are.
Well done video. Thanks and I’m subscribing.
The Browning buckmark is my favorite that I personally shot I like the rugers too that’s about the extent of my 22 experiences
Top 5 good and just good 22 pistols, that cant compare to european top pistols.
Which pistol in this group is easiest to break down?
Where can you find replacement magazines for the old hi Standard?
Sw model 41
SW41???
My Colt Woodsman was stolen out of my garage when I was too lazy to lock it in the safe. I cannot believe how stupid I was. I’m sorry. I dream of finding it again. It was the best.
Thanks to the name above ⬆️ ⬆️⬆️⬆️ just got my Strap with 12 ammo free…
Victory is such a lemon design. You have to glue it together with locktite so it doesn’t fall apart and when the barrel inevitably gets loose it will deform the extractor. Safety is in the way and flips very easily. The rail only uses 1 screw and "clips" into the other side and can move around on the clip. The ejector is welded on. Trigger sucks
I just got a beretta 76 target pistol paid 150 from a family member I see them going for a lot
What happened to the S&W Model 41??? You can get rid of the Ruger Mark II & S&W Victory! Great video.
I really like your videos and respect your opinion. My instructor in my rpal class played your video where you bounced a bullet off water to hit a balloon. What are your thoughts on the Sig Sauer/gsg Mosquito. I like the idea of quiet, inexpensive, plinking and I loved the ergonomics of it’s bigger brother the Sig 226. Thanks, I hope your dad’s well. Mine introduced me to shooting at 11 with the Marlin 60.

If you change the trigger on a Buckmark to a Tandem Kross flat face trigger. Upgrade to the Tandem Kross Gear Box sear spring too. The Victory trigger and the Gearbox sear spring together reduces the pull weight to about 3-lbs. And change that recoil spring guide rod to a Striplin Customs "Eliminator" guide rod. The Browning OEM guide rod is so soft you can bend it with your bare hands. The Striplin Eliminator guide rod is stainless steel of better quality.
Nice Vid. I tracked wth you all the way til you got to the Victory. I’m pretty good at sorting out pistols that dont run well. I have never run across a single one that ran out of the box, and you thoughtfully disclosed the reliability challenges with them. I don’t know anyone who has been able to get one to run long term. I am so glad you had the Woodsman in there. I got that on my bucket list. Thank you 22P !
500 yards with a 22lr pistol ? That is incredible , awe inspiring and a super human feat ! I never thought that was humanly possible ! 22 plnkster- you are a living legend!!!!
Ruger over S&W any day!
Did he say that he prefers a magazine disconnect?
so many of us were fortunate enough to have inherited from fathers and grandfathers ..if you didn’t your children can inherit from you. Teach them the love of weapons .
Only problem I got with this guy is the flexing….
"This is nowhere near all of them."
"I own wayyyy more target pistols than this."
"I had no idea I’d be shooting at the level I’m at now."
"500 yards split playing cards a hundred different ways."
You’d think an old boy from Tennessee would be a little more humble. Just my opinion.
I just picked up a Colt 22 Target that is very similar to the high standard it has a 6”” heavy barrel and a polymer frame I have not fired it yet so can’t comment on function but it looks to be well made. There is not a lot of info out there on this model but I believe it was only made between 1995and1999
Did you do a top 5 match pistol video, I can’t seem to find it on your channel
Hey plinkster what’s a stove pipe and what’s a squib?
I love your videos. Have you done one shooting a Pardini rimfire pistol? You can shoot anything with regular pistols, I would like to see what you can do with a Olympic standard pistol.
I wouldn’t rate any of those as a top ten target pistols let alone top 5. Id say for someone getting into .22 target pistol shooting a Hammerli Xesse would be a bare minimum and from there look towards second hand Benelli MP90s and Pardini’s etc…
8:37 May I ask what ammo you were using for your 500yd shot?
No 41?
