I have 2 Browning buckmarks .22 pistols. One is mine and one is my father in laws. Of course my Father in laws is better than mine but they both seam to be having the same issues. I use them both in a pistol league and are having FTF (failure to feed) and FTE (failure to eject) "smoke stack" problems. I am using the same ammo, Federal 710 round nose copper plated. I know that .22 ammo is not the best and they get rather dirty after a few 100 rounds. A friend of mine mentioned that he had heard that after a while Buckmarks need to have a part replaced but he could never remember what it was. Has anybody else heard of this?

This rifle handles Lott ammo with no issues but binds with .458 Win Mag ammo. It seems the shorter Win Mag ammo likes to nosedive when feeding. Dealer says all checks out ok and thinks it is normal that an extra attempt or two to feed should be expected?? CZ said I can send it to them and they'll check it out but would prefer I put several hundred rounds through it first to "break it in".....very expensive break-in if that's the case. Anybody else experience anything like this? Also (and I can almost hear the chuckles) I had a scope installed and while shooting it last Sunday, had the scope come completely off.....naturally, I caught it with my forehead. Not too much damage except to my ego but it taught me a good lesson to recheck scope mounts for tightness every couple of rounds. This is a very nice rifle but the feed problem concerns me. I certainly understand the break-in period but several hundred rounds does not sound correct.
