Kel Tec PMR30 vs Buckmark?

[wild cat mccane]

Can someone with both please inform us if the PMR30 is anything of a target shooter similar to the Buckmark or the Ruger MK?

Will the 22 mag shoot flat at a longer range? Is the Kel Tec as accurate? yadada kinda thing.

Thanks!

i went to a night time "tactical light" shooting match and a guy was running a PMR 30...talk about a hell of a fireball...it was cool

one difference you might find between the buckmark and the kel tec is the buckmark can be had with nice, sharp black target sights...the kel tec only comes with glow sights...if thats your thing great...if not, something to think about

Yes, but for target shooting...comparable? Buckmark or Ruger better? Same? less?

The buckmark is a great target shooter. Haven't shot a PMR30, but I can't see how it would beat the Browning at pistol ranges. Also .22lr is much cheaper than .22mag.

aside from the cost of 22 mag vs 22, which is going to be more accurate?

I'd bet on the Buckmark every time, they have very good triggers out of the box.

mechanically speaking, they are probably quite similar in accuracy

how accurate you will be? hard to say...I do know that as far as accurate pistol shooting goes, nose heavy is preferred, which you will get in a buckmark with their heavy barrels and lightweight grip frames....you will not get that in the PMR, with its light barrel and a full 30 round magazine

all that said, i would go with the PMR just for its cool/fun factor, and the one i played with had a sweeeeet trigger...odd thing to say about a kel tec lol
