So I said I will post review, couldn't figure out how to post video here, so I stuck that on my YouTube channel (you won't find anything else, I use it to share video with friend and family). The review is in the description.

Thanks for posting. I like the look of the finger pull too.

All good, I put that up partly because all the YouTube reviews thus far only show the awkward thrum operation.... would be nice to see a Buckmaster and Bushmeister shoot off tho.

Agreed. What I would really like to see is a few rounds of clays with the different actions. If the fit is no good and the second shot is too hard then you will see that immediately.

Is the buckmaster release worth an extra $1k I don't know.

No shooting clay for me for a while, the local ranges where I can shoot clay are still water logged...

And I need trim an inch off the butt first (I am short as)... Then I can have a proper play.

I am now looking at a better lever too, should be able to do one up with a welder and crude milling machine.

Is it is gas operated and the chuck in a rifled choke plus an adjustable stock (comb and legnth of pull only, no tacticool stock), the Buckmaster will be worth the extra money ...,


If the government doesn't ban further import out of panic, there will be more models coming I hope

Agreed. What I didn't like about the buckmaster was it put a picatinny rail on the bottom. To use the left thumb on the stock your left hand is almost touch it and in heavy recoil the edge may hit your hand. It had a hole through the plastic but I couldn't see if you could screw it off.

One could put pic rail cover on, but this is solution for a problem that didn't have to exist, pic rail should not interfere with the hand at the first place. If it were semi auto, i get it, you could put vertical grips and s**t on, but the Buckmaster has a button, the hand must go on the one spot..... What were they thinking

I tool another look at the Buckmaster, I guess it's ok for right handed, especially ones who are short ass like me (I can't hold it too forward, even if I try), but for a large left handed person (who may use the index/middle finger to press the button), I can see the hand sliding far enough to hit the pic rail

The bushmeister will be in store in the next month I was told so I'm going to look at them. I think the wood 28" version won't have the picatinny rail.
