Anyone own a Browning T-Bolt .22????

[KRN123060]

Straight pull. 20" barrel. Suppressor ready. Uses a rotary mag not unlike the Ruger. Model is called a Target SR. Not a lot of info out there. Anybody have any experience? Good or bad?

Its a Browning, enough said.

Had one of the new ones in .17HMR several years ago. Only gripe was it has a plastic trigger.

The trigger was plastic? Or just the trigger guard?

Don't have one but have limited experience with a previous gen. I assume from the description you're talking about the latest generation?

Correct, Sir.

Yes, very happy. Purchased at Sportsman's Warehouse in Lafayette 2006. Use it on the steel critter range at the club, just for fun.

Well, I guess it depends on who is making Browning that year.

Gotta ask, what models and manufactures did Browning ever use that you believe were a mistake?

Whoever did their X-Bolt . . . had issues.

The modern x Bolts were built in Japan. I bought two micros for my sons, one in 308 and the other in 22 Hornet. I don't believe I know of any issues with them? Out of the three Hornets we own, for some reason the Micros in Hornet are very good shooters. It is a better shooter than the other two.
Please inform me sir.

Larger caliber X-bolts had feeding issues, usually related to magazine. IIRC is was the 300 Win Mag.

Coating issues on shotguns. Overall likely subcontractor issues but common for hermit crab makers like Browning and Winchester.

The Japanese make fantastic guns.

LOL. hermit crabs.
Some of the X-bolts did have interesting mags. Here is my Thing 2's Micro Hornet magazine in a floor plate.

Hoping to run across one in 22lr with the AAAA Maple stock to go with my X-bolt and 725 trap gun……

I have owned two of the older T-bolts and they are both good. One was Belgium made and the other Jap. They are guns that hit what you see and not see what you hit.

I bought a left hand T Bolt 22 caliber a few years back. Changed the trigger.under 2lb Quite the gun.

BTW, I forgot to mention, both of mine were left handed...

The ones I have inspected have had a lot of "wood salt" pitting under the stock. These were all Belgium made.

I have one. It's newer,I don't know how old. It has a plastic stock with some skull design on it. I like it, no complaints. Be careful if you choose to store the second mag in the stock, don't push it in too far but if you do, it can be convinced to come out. Never noticed the trigger other than it's acceptable. I put a huge scope on it and consider it my bench .22, its pretty accurate.
