Browning T-Bolt Bottomland 22 WMR Target Varmint Rifle 22″ Heavy Threaded Barrel – Hard-Hitting Rimfire

Description

The Browning T-Bolt Bottomland 22 WMR is a rimfire bolt-action rifle chambered in 22 WMR with a 22-inch heavy varmint barrel, a 10-round rotary magazine, and a composite stock finished in Mossy Oak Bottomland camo. It pairs the fast T-Bolt action with a barrel profile made for tight groups, so it works just as well on the bench as it does in a squirrel woods or prairie dog town.

Browning T-Bolt Bottomland 22 WMR Overview

Browning built the T-Bolt around a simple idea: a rimfire should cycle as fast as you can think. Instead of lifting and rotating a bolt handle, you pull straight back and push straight forward. That short, direct stroke keeps your cheek on the stock and your eye behind the scope, which makes follow-up shots quicker and keeps you on target when a second ground squirrel pops up.

The Target/Varmint version adds weight where it helps. The heavy barrel resists heat during long strings of fire, dampens movement, and gives the rifle a steady hold from bags or a bipod. In 22 WMR, it carries noticeably more energy than 22 LR, which makes it a strong pick for foxes, coyotes at modest range, and groundhogs around the farm.

Straight-Pull Action and Smooth Feeding

At the heart of this rifle is the T-Bolt straight-pull bolt, a design that has earned a loyal following among rimfire shooters. The action locks up solidly, opens with a short rearward pull, and feeds from a rotary magazine that sits flush in the stock. The bolt slide is brushed and the receiver wears a polished blued finish, so the metal looks sharp next to the camo stock.

The Double Helix magazine holds 10 rounds and uses a rotary feed path that presents each cartridge in line with the chamber. Rimfire rounds have a soft rim that can deform or snag in some box magazines. The rotary layout cuts down on that risk and keeps feeding smooth from the first round to the last.

Heavy Varmint Barrel Built for Accuracy

The 22-inch steel barrel has a varmint contour with a matte blued finish to cut glare. Its twist rate is 1:14″, matched to the bullet weights most common in 22 WMR. The muzzle is threaded 1/2-28, so you can add a rimfire suppressor or muzzle device where local law allows. The receiver is drilled and tapped, making scope mounting easy with standard T-Bolt bases or rings.

Heavier barrels shine when you want consistent groups at the range or need to hold steady on a small target. The extra mass slows barrel whip and helps the rifle settle between shots, which is a big reason target and varmint shooters favor this profile.

Mossy Oak Bottomland Stock and Ergonomics

The composite stock is weather resistant and will not swell or warp like wood can. Its camo finish blends into hardwood bottoms, fence lines, and field edges. A 13 1/2-inch length of pull fits a wide range of shooters, including younger or smaller-framed hunters, and the 5/8-inch drop at comb and heel lines the eye up nicely with a low-mounted scope. Sling swivel studs are already in place for a sling or bipod.

Gold Trigger and Shooting Feel

The gold-plated trigger has a crisp break that helps you hold the crosshairs steady at the moment the shot goes. Overall length is 40 1/4 inches and the rifle weighs about 5 lbs 10 oz before optics, which gives it a stable feel without being a chore to carry on a long walk through the timber.

Before You Buy

Federal law requires this rifle to ship to a licensed FFL dealer, and you must pass a background check to take possession. Check local rules before adding a suppressor to the threaded muzzle. 22 WMR is more powerful than 22 LR and the two are not interchangeable, so only feed this rifle 22 Magnum ammunition.

Who It Is For

The Browning T-Bolt Bottomland 22 WMR is a great fit for farm and small-game hunters who want more reach and energy than 22 LR offers, in a fast straight-pull rifle with a heavy barrel that shoots tight groups.
