Weighing in at approximately 5.5 lbs, this rifle balances well for off-hand shots and carries easily on long walks. The price point of $697.75 reflects its specialized build and Browning’s reputation for quality. Here’s the thing—when it comes to varmint control or small game hunting where a second shot on a moving target is critical, the T-Bolt’s action is a legitimate advantage. It’s drop-in ready for optics, accepting standard rimfire scope bases, and fits out of the box with a clean, crisp trigger that needs no gunsmithing to be effective.
Who This Rifle Is For
This rifle is built for the left-handed shooter who has been adapting to right-handed controls for too long. It’s for the hunter who stalks prairie dogs or coyotes where wind calls for a fast second shot with the potent .22 WMR. It’s also an ideal training rifle for left-handed marksmen wanting to practice bolt manipulation fundamentals without the awkwardness of a reversed action. The dedicated design means every control falls naturally to your strong hand.
Pros & Cons
Pros: True left-handed ergonomics eliminate compromise. The straight-pull action is significantly faster than a traditional turn-bolt. The .22 WMR cartridge offers extended range and more authority than standard .22 LR. The 10-round capacity is generous for a rimfire bolt gun. Browning’s fit and finish are consistently excellent.
Cons: The .22 WMR ammunition is more expensive than .22 LR. The specialized left-hand configuration means fewer off-the-shelf options exist compared to right-handed models. The straight-pull mechanism, while fast, has a different feel that some traditionalists may need to practice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the .22 Winchester Magnum suitable for anything beyond small game?
A: Absolutely. While perfect for rabbits and squirrels, the .22 WMR has the energy for fox, raccoon, and even coyote at reasonable ranges with proper shot placement. It’s a versatile cartridge that bridges the gap between .22 LR and larger centerfire varmint rounds.
Q: Can I use .22 Long Rifle ammunition in this rifle?
A: No. This rifle is chambered exclusively for the longer, more powerful .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire cartridge. Firing .22 LR in a .22 WMR chamber is unsafe and can cause severe malfunctions.
Q: What type of scope base does it use?
A: The Browning T-Bolt is drilled and tapped for a standard rimfire 3/8″ dovetail or compatible Weaver-style bases. This makes it easy to mount a wide range of optics from brands like Leupold, Vortex, or Nikon for rimfire.
