For shooters focused on precision rimfire performance in field or range environments, the right bolt-action platform makes all the difference. Tactical shooters and hunters who need a light, accurate rifle for varmint control will appreciate a setup that balances barrel rigidity, quick follow-up shots, and scope-ready ergonomics.

BROWNING T-BOLT TARGET/VARMINT

The Browning T-Bolt TargetVarmint brings a straight-pull bolt to a heavy-target rimfire platform, delivering faster cycling than traditional lift-and-turn bolts while preserving bolt-action rigidity. Shop this product on our shop page to view current specs and purchase from the retailer.

Design and key features

Built on a polished blued steel receiver that is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, this model is optimized for optics. The free-floating heavy target barrel with a recessed crown and a 22″ length reduces harmonics and produces consistent groups at extended rimfire distances. The checkered satin black walnut stock with a Monte Carlo comb provides repeatable cheek weld for scoped shooting, and installed sling swivel studs make it range-ready.

Action, trigger, and controls

The straight-pull T-Bolt action enables rapid follow-up shots without sacrificing the bolt-locking strength expected from a bolt action. An adjustable trigger allows crisp breaks tailored to shooter preference, and a top tang safety gives a positive, easily accessed manual safety. Capacity is 10 rounds for extended range sessions or field work.

Ballistics and practical use

This TargetVarmint variant is chambered in .22 LR, the go-to rimfire cartridge for plinking, training, and small-game/varmint control due to low recoil, low noise, and economical ammo. Note: some listings for the T-Bolt family reference 17 HMR configurations; review the product page to confirm caliber before purchase. The rifle’s 19″ twist, 13.5″ length of pull, overall length of 40.25″, and 5 lb 8 oz weight make it balanced for offhand and supported work.

At a price of $806.99, the package offers premium features—free-floating barrel, recessed crown, drilled-and-tapped receiver, straight-pull bolt, adjustable trigger, and classic walnut furniture.
