Browning Buck Mark Field Target 22 LR 5 5IN 10 Round
About this product
The Browning Buck Mark Field Target is a heavy-barrel, single-action .22 LR target pistol built on Browning's long-running Buck Mark platform, this configuration pairing a 5.5-inch bull barrel with an aluminum-alloy frame and laminated cocobolo target grips. Browning lists an MSRP of $749.99 for this model, with this listing's $395.99 price reflecting typical street pricing well below that figure.
What makes it a 'Field Target' model specifically?
Within Browning's broad Buck Mark lineup - which spans everything from compact plinkers to dedicated competition guns - the Field Target trim sits toward the target-shooting end, built around a heavy bull barrel, a full-length top Picatinny rail for mounting a scope or red dot, and Pro-Target adjustable sights for use without an optic.
What does the 'bull barrel' construction add?
A bull barrel is a thicker, heavier barrel profile than a standard pistol barrel, which adds weight forward of the grip to dampen vibration and muzzle movement during the shot - a common feature on dedicated .22 LR target pistols where consistency matters more than portability. Browning target-crowns this barrel and hand-reams the chamber as part of the Buck Mark's target-oriented build process.
What are the core specs?
It's built on an aircraft-grade 7075 aluminum-alloy frame, holds 10+1 rounds of .22 LR, and weighs about 38 ounces - noticeably heavier than a typical carry .22 because of the bull barrel and target-oriented frame. It comes with laminated cocobolo grips and includes a 13-inch pistol rug for storage.
Is this a carry gun or a range/target gun?
This is a range and target pistol, not a concealed-carry design - the bull barrel, top rail, and overall size and weight are built for stability and accuracy at the range rather than easy concealment. If you're looking for a compact .22 for carry, a different Buck Mark configuration or a different platform entirely would be a better fit.
Browning has produced the Buck Mark line since the 1980s, and the platform has built a strong reputation among rimfire competitors and casual shooters alike for reliability and accuracy, which is part of why the line has expanded into so many different barrel lengths and configurations over the decades, including this target-oriented Field Target trim. Ammunition compatibility is standard .22 LR, and like most rimfire pistols, the Buck Mark tends to run more reliably with quality practice or match-grade ammunition rather than the cheapest bulk-pack rounds, which can vary more in quality and occasionally cause more failures to fire. The included pistol rug makes it easy to transport to and from the range without a dedicated hard case, and the full-length top rail means you can add a red dot or low-power scope later without buying a different pistol.
.22 LR target pistols like the Buck Mark Field Target are popular for low-cost, low-recoil practice that still rewards precise trigger control and sight alignment - the same fundamentals that carry over to centerfire shooting - which is why many shooters keep one in rotation even if their primary interest is a centerfire handgun or rifle.
How does the purchase process work?
As a firearm, the Buck Mark Field Target ships to a licensed FFL dealer rather than to your home. You'll complete a background check and any state-required waiting period before taking possession. Checkout on this site runs through secure checkout, and FFL transfer fees are set separately by the receiving dealer.
FFL transfer required
This item is a firearm and ships only to a licensed FFL dealer, never to a home address. At checkout, enter your preferred dealer as the shipping address, or leave it blank and we will assign a licensed dealer near you at no extra cost. You complete the background check and paperwork with the dealer when you pick up.
California buyers: handguns must be on the California roster for delivery to a California FFL, a Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) and DROS are handled at the dealer, and the 10-day waiting period applies. Out-of-state buyers receive the firearm through their own local FFL under their state's rules.
