Description
The Browning Buck Mark Plus UDX 22 LR 5.5in Rosewood is a precision .22 Long Rifle pistol built for target shooting and plinking. It pairs a 5.5-inch slab-side barrel with an optic-ready blued slide and matte-black aluminum receiver. Rosewood UDX grips give you classic looks and solid control, while the Picatinny top rail lets you mount a red-dot sight. TruGlo fiber-optic front and Pro-Target adjustable rear sights keep you on target. This is a reliable, accurate rimfire that won’t break the bank.

Key Features
- Precision Slab-Side Barrel — The 5.5-inch barrel is machined flat on the sides to reduce weight and improve balance. Why it matters: This gives you a steadier hold and tighter groups at the range.
- Optic-Ready Slide with Picatinny Rail — The blued slide comes with a factory-machined top rail for mounting optics. Why it matters: You can add a red-dot sight without gunsmithing, making target acquisition faster.
- Rosewood UDX Grips — These contoured grips are cut from real rosewood with finger grooves and a palm swell. Why it matters: They lock your hand in place, reducing fatigue and improving shot-to-shot consistency.
- TruGlo Fiber-Optic Front Sight — A bright green fiber-optic front sight gathers ambient light for a clear aiming point. Why it matters: It helps you pick up the front sight quickly in any lighting, especially under overcast skies or indoor ranges.
- Pro-Target Adjustable Rear Sight — The white-outline rear sight adjusts for windage and elevation. Why it matters: You can zero the pistol exactly to your preferred load or distance without tools.
Who It’s For
This Buck Mark is for the shooter who wants a competition-ready .22 pistol without spending over a grand. It works for bullseye matches, plinking sessions, and teaching new shooters. The rosewood grips and slab-side barrel also appeal to collectors who appreciate classic styling.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: The Picatinny rail is factory-machined, so you don’t need an adapter plate for most red dots.
- Pro: The trigger is crisp out of the box—around 4.5 pounds pull weight per Browning specs.
- Pro: Rosewood grips are comfortable and look great, even after years of use.
- Con: The magazine holds only 10 rounds, which is standard for .22 pistols but less than some competitors.

FAQ
Does this pistol come with a red-dot sight?
No. The Buck Mark Plus UDX ships with TruGlo fiber-optic front and Pro-Target rear sights. The Picatinny top rail lets you mount any standard red-dot sight, but you’ll need to buy it separately.
What type of ammunition works best?
High-velocity .22 LR ammo works reliably. For target shooting, standard-velocity match ammo like CCI Standard Velocity or Eley Target gives the best accuracy. Avoid subsonic loads if you want consistent cycling.
Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?
No. The 5.5-inch barrel is not threaded. If you need a suppressor-ready model, look at the Buck Mark Lite series with a threaded barrel.
Can I change the grips?
Yes. The rosewood grips are held by two screws. Aftermarket grips from VZ Grips or Hogue fit the Buck Mark frame, so you can swap them for different textures or colors.
What is the warranty?
Browning covers the Buck Mark with a limited lifetime warranty for the original owner. It covers defects in materials and workmanship, but not normal wear or modification.
