I finally have my Burris rings on my Buckmark 14". We'll I have had them on for several months now just waiting on some ammo to show up at the LGS. I you may or may not know, I first thought the gun was finished till I shot it. After shooting I could not adjust the scope enough to even get the bullets on a piece of paper. I bought some Burris Z rings as was suggested from several here on RFC. I put these on and the first shot was very close to the target, man that was a relief. I bought this gun and my 10" Ruger Mark II.5 to replace the S&W Model 41 that I got aggravated with. The S&W was the most accurate 22lr pistol that I have ever shot or had but the stove piping just drove me crazy. It was so bad that I tried everything and finally just sold it. I bought the 10" Ruger but it was not as accurate as the 41 so I bought this BuckMark Silhouette 14" in hopes of a accurate pistol, equaling the 41.That did not happen till the Burris Z rings and todays Range trip. I finally took her out after finding a couple hundred rounds of CCI SV. It was a little warm 85 degrees in the full sun with a 10 mile an hour wind (Guessing). I fired from a rest at 25 yards. Here is the result, very happy. This will get better without the wind and a little cooler temp. I can relax a little more. I put a shade on the scope to help with glare (I have no shade) on the range. The target is approx. a quarter in size. This gun is just a lot of fun to shoot and just as comfortable as the S&W, to me right now it is the funnest Target pistol I own.
