I got my Buckmark in 1987. [crap, I'v'e gotten old] I've shot thousands of rounds through it and have never needed to have it fixed or felt the need to buy another .22.
Bought mine at Academy last month on sale for $269. Finally got to go shoot it about 2 weeks ago. It's a great gun. Lots of fun and cheap ammo.
I read a lot of good reviews before I bought mine.
