Browning Challenger III

Went by my favorite gun and tackle store to check out primers and couldn't resist.

Accurate shooter. Terrible feeding federal 510 and Win T22. Did a bit better with Fed value pack. However it would partially feed the round then bend it on the feed ramp.

Disassembled and cleaned it this evening. The recoil spring is a grade A PITA to replace.

The Challenger III and Buck Mark Standard are not significantly different.

Looks nice, I hope you got a good price. Is that a spot of rust I see on the barrel, near the front sight? If it is a little #0000 steel wool with some remoil applied on it should take it off.

No rust. A nick in the barrel
