For precision rimfire work at the range, a lightweight, reliable bolt-action platform that balances accuracy and fast follow-up shots is a desirable tool. Experienced shooters appreciate a rifle that brings modern engineering to a classic design without excess weight or complexity.

BROWNING T-BOLT SPORTER is a classic design with modern features — a bolt-action rifle built around a polished blued steel receiver that is drilled and tapped for scope mounts. The 22″ free-floating, blued barrel with a recessed crown, combined with a 1:19 twist, delivers reliable stabilization for a wide range of .22 LR loads. The straight-pull bolt with an enlarged pivot point, top tang safety, and adjustable trigger are all tuned for quick, repeatable operation. Capacity is a 10-round Double Helix rotary-box magazine; sling swivel studs are installed from the factory. Key specs include a 13.5″ length of pull, 40.125″ overall length, and a lightweight 4 lb 14 oz carry weight. Price is $707.99.

Design and handling

The T-Bolt Sporter blends traditional lines with user-focused engineering. The straight-pull bolt reduces the motion and re-acquisition time between shots compared with a conventional turn bolt. An enlarged pivot point improves leverage for smooth extraction and chambering of rimfire cartridges. The drilled-and-tapped receiver simplifies optics mounting for scope users, while the recessed crown and free-floating barrel promote consistent accuracy at the bench or prone.

Controls and features

Top tang safety and an adjustable trigger let you tune the rifle to your preference for competitive or training work. The satin black walnut stock option offers classic aesthetics without compromising ergonomics; synthetic options are available if you prefer a more weather-resistant package. The factory-installed sling studs make it simple to add a carry sling for range transport or field use.

With the T-Bolt Sporter’s 1:19 twist and 22″ barrel, you’ll see reliable stabilization of common .22 projectiles and consistent group performance during sighting, practice, and small-game applications.
