Key Features and Tactical Benefits

Barrel and Accuracy

That free-floating heavy barrel (22″ length) and recessed crown reduce barrel vibration and protect the throat at the muzzle—critical for tight groups. A 19″ twist rate listed in the specs provides the stabilization needed for common rimfire projectiles.

Action, Trigger and Safety

The straight-pull T-bolt design offers faster cycling compared to traditional turn bolts while retaining positive lock-up. The adjustable trigger lets you tune pull weight to your preference for competitive target shooting, and the top tang safety gives a clear, ergonomic control for safe handling.

Ergonomics and Fit

The checkered satin black walnut stock with a Monte Carlo comb provides a classic look and consistent cheek weld for scoped work. With a 13.5″ length of pull and a 5 lb 8 oz weight, the rifle balances stability and carryability. Sling swivel studs are installed for field use.

Note on caliber: product copy references chambering ideal for .22 LR—excellent for economical practice and small varmint work—while detailed specs list 17 HMR as caliber. Confirm the specific chambering on the product page before purchase. Price is listed at $782.99, reflecting the premium fit, finish and features.

For shooters who want a refined bolt-action rimfire with target-focused features—adjustable trigger, scope-ready receiver, heavy crowned barrel—the BROWNING T-BOLT TARGET/VARMINT is a strong candidate.
