Discover Unmatched Precision: The Browning T-Bolt Target/Varmint .17 HMR Rifle

Are you a dedicated varmint hunter seeking a rifle that delivers surgical accuracy and rapid follow-up shots? Or perhaps a target shooting enthusiast looking for a rimfire platform that can consistently shrink your groups? The Browning T-Bolt Target/Varmint rifle in .17 HMR caliber is engineered precisely for these demanding roles, offering a blend of innovative design, renowned Browning quality, and exceptional performance that sets a new standard in rimfire precision.

This rifle isn't just another bolt-action; it’s a meticulously crafted instrument designed to solve common challenges faced by precision shooters. Forget cumbersome traditional bolt actions that slow down your pace, or magazines that are finicky to load. The T-Bolt streamlines your shooting experience, allowing you to focus on what truly matters: hitting your target with unwavering consistency.

The Ingenious T-Bolt Action: Speed Meets Precision

At the heart of the Browning T-Bolt’s outstanding performance is its revolutionary straight-pull "T" bolt design. Unlike conventional bolt-action rifles that require a lift-and-pull, then push-and-lower motion, the T-Bolt operates with a simple, fluid back-and-forth movement. This innovative mechanism offers several key advantages for both varmint hunters and target shooters:

• Lightning-Fast Cycling: The straight-pull action allows for incredibly quick cycling of rounds, facilitating rapid follow-up shots crucial when engaging multiple targets or when a second shot is needed to secure a humane dispatch. For target shooters, this means less time fiddling with the bolt and more time focusing on breath control and trigger squeeze between shots.
• Reduced Movement, Enhanced Stability: With minimal body movement required to operate the bolt, your shooting position remains more stable. This translates directly to improved accuracy, as you're less likely to disturb your sight picture or shift your point of aim. It’s an invaluable feature for maintaining precision during extended shooting sessions or when time is of the essence in the field.
• Intuitive Operation: The simplicity of the T-bolt’s straight-line design makes it incredibly easy to learn and operate, even for newer shooters. Its natural ergonomics contribute to a seamless shooting experience, making it a joy to handle whether you're prone on a bipod or seated at a bench.

The Revolutionary Double Helix Magazine: Uninterrupted Feeding

Another cornerstone of the T-Bolt's reliability is its unique Double Helix rotary box magazine. This cutting-edge magazine design stands apart from traditional box magazines, addressing common feeding issues and enhancing overall performance:

• Exceptional Reliability: The Double Helix design ensures that each .17 HMR cartridge is perfectly aligned with the chamber, eliminating common feeding problems like nose dives or misfeeds. This consistent alignment guarantees flawless operation, even under rapid cycling.
• High Capacity, Compact Design: Despite its impressive 10+1 capacity, the Double Helix magazine maintains a remarkably compact profile. It sits flush with the rifle's stock, avoiding any protruding parts that could snag or interfere with handling.
• Effortless Loading and Unloading: Designed for user convenience, the magazine is simple to load and unload. Its robust construction ensures durability, making it a reliable companion for countless shooting excursions.

This combination of the straight-pull bolt and the Double Helix magazine makes the Browning T-Bolt a truly formidable tool for anyone seeking high-volume, high-precision rimfire shooting.

The Potent .17 HMR Caliber: Power and Precision for Small Targets

Why choose the .17 HMR (Hornady Magnum Rimfire) for your target and varmint shooting needs? This highly popular rimfire cartridge offers an impressive ballistic profile perfectly suited for precise long-range rimfire applications:

• Flat Trajectory: The .17 HMR is renowned for its incredibly flat trajectory, especially compared to other rimfire calibers like the .22 LR. This characteristic simplifies shot placement at extended ranges, reducing the need for significant holdovers and making it easier to connect with small targets.
• High Velocity: Launching lightweight projectiles at velocities often exceeding 2,500 feet per second, the .17 HMR delivers impressive energy transfer, making it highly effective for varmint control.
• Exceptional Accuracy: Its inherent accuracy makes it a top choice for competitive rimfire target shooting and pest control where pinpoint precision is paramount. Whether you're dealing with prairie dogs, groundhogs, or other small predators, the .17 HMR offers the reliable terminal performance you need.
• Versatile Applications: While primarily celebrated for varmint hunting and target shooting, the .17 HMR also excels for small game hunting where minimal pelt damage is desired, or simply for enjoyable plinking at the range.

The Browning T-Bolt is chambered in this superb caliber, maximizing the cartridge's potential for unparalleled accuracy and effectiveness.

Designed for Performance: Stock, Barrel, and Trigger Excellence

Every component of the Browning T-Bolt Target/Varmint rifle is carefully selected and precision-engineered to contribute to its overall superior performance:

• Satin Black Walnut Stock with Monte Carlo Comb: The rifle features a beautiful satin black walnut stock, offering both timeless aesthetics and ergonomic functionality. The fixed stock is equipped with a Monte Carlo comb, a distinctive raised portion designed to provide an optimal cheek weld. This ensures consistent eye alignment with your optics, which is absolutely critical for precision shooting. The stock also includes dual action screws for enhanced stability and sling swivel studs for easy attachment of a sling, crucial for carrying in the field or steadying your aim. The synthetic buttplate provides comfortable recoil absorption, even from the light-recoiling .17 HMR.
• 22" Free-Floating Barrel with Polished Blued Finish: The 22-inch barrel is a free-floating design, meaning it does not make contact with the fore-end of the stock. This crucial feature minimizes any external pressures or vibrations that could negatively impact barrel harmonics, allowing the barrel to vibrate consistently and thus deliver maximum inherent accuracy. The polished blued finish is not only aesthetically pleasing but also provides robust protection against corrosion and wear. The recessed crown at the muzzle protects the rifling from damage, ensuring consistent projectile exit and preserving the rifle’s remarkable precision. The 1:9" twist rate is ideally matched to stabilize the lightweight .17 HMR projectiles for optimal accuracy.
• Adjustable Gold Plated Three-Lever Trigger: The T-Bolt boasts an adjustable, gold-tone three-lever trigger that provides a crisp, clean break. A high-quality trigger is one of the most critical elements for achieving accuracy, and Browning has spared no expense here. The ability to fine-tune the trigger pull allows shooters to customize it to their preference, minimizing anticipated movement and ensuring precise shot placement.
• Drilled and Tapped Steel Receiver: The robust steel receiver is drilled and tapped, making it ready to accept your preferred scope mounts and optics. This allows for quick and secure attachment of a telescopic sight, which is essential for maximizing the rifle's long-range capabilities in both varmint hunting and target shooting scenarios. The receiver also features a polished blued finish, matching the barrel and ensuring durability.
• Top-Tang Safety: The intuitive top-tang safety is conveniently located and easily accessible for both right-handed shooters. Its prominent position allows for quick and positive engagement or disengagement, providing an essential layer of security and peace of mind during handling and shooting.

Enhancing Your Shooting Experience

• Bipod: For varmint hunting or target shooting from a prone or bench rest position, a sturdy bipod will provide a stable shooting platform, significantly enhancing your accuracy.
• Sling: While the rifle is lightweight at 5.50 lbs, a comfortable sling will make transport in the field much easier and can also aid in steadying your aim in unsupported shooting positions.
