Browning Buck Mark Medallion 22 LR 5.5in Vortex Crossfire

Description

The Browning Buck Mark Medallion 22 LR 5.5in Vortex Crossfire is a purpose-built target and range pistol that ships with a Vortex Crossfire red dot already mounted and zeroed. This .22 LR semi-auto features a 5.5-inch slabside barrel, laminated rosewood-colored grips, and co-witness-ready iron sights. It runs on a 10-round magazine and comes drilled and tapped for additional optics. This is a turnkey rimfire setup for shooters who want accuracy without the hassle of piecing together a pistol and optic separately.

Key Features

• Factory-Mounted Vortex Crossfire Red Dot – This saves you the time and cost of buying and mounting an optic separately. The low mount lets you co-witness with the fiber-optic front and adjustable rear iron sights, giving you two sighting systems in one package.
• 5.5-Inch Slabside Barrel – The flat-sided barrel reduces weight without sacrificing length, and the added mass up front helps settle the muzzle for steadier aiming. It also gives the pistol a distinctive, classic target look.
• Laminated Rosewood Grips – These grips are comfortable for medium to large hands and they resist moisture better than standard wood. The thumb rest on the left side helps new shooters lock in a consistent hold.
• Drilled and Tapped for Optics – If you ever want to swap the Crossfire for a different red dot or a mini reflex, the receiver is already threaded for standard Buck Mark optic mounts. No gunsmith visit needed.
• Adjustable Rear Sight with Fiber-Optic Front – Even without the red dot, the iron sights give you a bright, easy-to-acquire sight picture. The rear sight adjusts for windage and elevation, so you can dial in your point of impact.

Who It’s For

This pistol is for the shooter who wants a ready-to-run .22 LR target gun with a quality red dot already installed. It works well for new shooters learning the fundamentals, for plinkers who want to stretch their ammo budget, and for experienced rimfire competitors who need a reliable backup or practice gun. The co-witness iron sights mean you’re never stuck if the battery dies mid-session.

Pros and Cons

• Pro: Comes with a Vortex Crossfire red dot – a solid, proven optic – already mounted and co-witnessed. That’s a $200 value added to the pistol.
• Pro: The slabside barrel and laminated grips give the Medallion a stable, balanced feel that helps with accuracy right out of the box.
• Con: The 10-round magazine capacity is standard for .22 LR target pistols, but some shooters will wish for a 15- or 20-round option for longer range sessions without reloading.

FAQ

Does the Vortex Crossfire red dot come with the pistol, or do I have to buy it separately?

The Vortex Crossfire is included and factory-mounted on the Browning Buck Mark Medallion. You get the pistol and the red dot as one package for the listed price.

Can I remove the red dot and still use the iron sights?

Yes. The low mount allows the iron sights to co-witness through the optic window. If you remove the optic entirely, the fiber-optic front and adjustable rear sights are fully functional on their own.

What is the magazine capacity?

It ships with one 10-round magazine. Extra Buck Mark magazines are available separately from Browning and most gun shops.

Is this pistol optics-ready for other red dots?

Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Buck Mark optic mounts, so you can swap the Crossfire for a different red dot or reflex sight without any drilling or permanent modification.

What type of ammunition does this pistol require?

It uses standard-velocity or high-velocity .22 LR ammunition. Avoid subsonic or hyper-velocity loads for best reliability. Per Browning specs, the pistol is designed for plinking and target use with standard .22 LR rounds.
