Beginning bullseye pistol, Browning
the browning buck mark field target pistol is new in their line up.
It has target sights a built in rail for eventual red dot and has a 5.5 inch bull barrel and an overall weight of 38 oz. I will probably quickly put a victory flat faced trigger on it and have a gun smith lighten the trigger a pound or so.. I am being told to stick with the black front sight for bullseye so this seems like a good choice without breaking the bank.. if I progress in the sport I add to this gun or step up to another later
Didn’t like the ruger, grip angle and how it feels in my hand.
Any thoughts?

Good pistol. You won't need a gunsmith to lower trigger weight a bunch. Utube has lots of videos on how to turn a spring over to reduce trigger weight. I have a newer one and its Grandpa. Both shoot nice.

One thing to keep in mind is that when using a straight trigger it's weighed 1/4" from the lowest point. Having a machine shop I made different triggers. I tried flat but didn't like them and the weigh location increases the trigger weight feeling. However that's me, I mention it because it's something you might want to consider.

Re: Beginning bullseye pistol, Browning
I am doing fine starting with a Buckmark (also with bull barrel and full rail). I run a red dot on mine.
I have installed both the VQ and the Tandemcross and much prefer the VQ. Both took custom fitting. VQ is out of production but still occasionally spotted for sale. SGW makes a similar trigger to the VQ. http://www.saronagunworks.com/store/index.php?route=product/category&path=69
Mine likes Eley Club the best.

great looking guns and thanks for the comments.. BTW I really like your model 41 in your profile picture.. cant justify the expense at this point though.

About how much does the new Browning go for?
Very nice looking guns but visually I prefer the bull barrelled 1. I take it that is the newest 1?

because I am new to the forum they won't let me post a link for the first week. Go to browning website Buck Mark Field Target 5.5 inch it has the bull barrel. buds has it for $435 but most other places has if for $475-$500. it looks like a good pistol and something you can build onto as you progress.
