The Browning T-Bolt Target/Varmint in 17 HMR is a purpose-built rimfire rifle for shooters who demand precision at distance and control over small game and varmints. Built on Browning's proven T-Bolt platform, this rifle combines a clean, accurate bolt action with the flat-shooting ballistics of the 17 HMR cartridge—making it equally at home ringing steel at 100 yards or culling prairie dogs across a field. At just 5 lb 8 oz, it's nimble enough for all-day hunting yet substantial enough to manage recoil and settle into a steady aim.
The 22-inch barrel strikes the ideal balance between velocity and handling, while the 1:9 twist rate is optimized to stabilize the hypervelocity 17 HMR projectile. Ten rounds of magazine capacity give you enough firepower for extended sessions without constant reloading. The satin black walnut stock and polished blued steel finish deliver classic Browning aesthetics—understated, professional, and durable. Sling swivel studs come installed, so you can get mounted and into the field without modification. A 13.5-inch length of pull fits most shooters comfortably, whether you're prone behind a bench or standing ready in brush.
This is a rifle built for the shooter who values accuracy, reliability, and honest engineering over marketing noise. Whether you're a varmint control specialist, a competitive rimfire target shooter, or someone who simply appreciates a nimble, hard-hitting rifle that does exactly what it promises, the T-Bolt Target/Varmint deserves a place in your safe.

This rifle excels at varmint hunting, small-game control, and target shooting. The 17 HMR's high velocity and flat trajectory make it particularly effective at extended range, while the light recoil and compact handling allow for precise follow-up shots. It's also a strong choice for competitive rimfire target matches.
The stock comes with a 13.5-inch length of pull. This dimension fits most adult shooters and many younger shooters. If you require a significantly different pull length, aftermarket stocks or spacers may be available through third-party suppliers, though we recommend handling the rifle in person to confirm fit before purchase.
The T-Bolt Target/Varmint arrives with sling swivel studs already installed. You will need to add a scope or optic, ammunition, and a sling if desired. The rifle does not include iron sights; most owners mount a scope for the accuracy this platform is known for.
The 1:9 twist is specifically engineered to stabilize 17 HMR projectiles across the typical range of bullet weights for the cartridge. This ensures consistent accuracy and minimal bullet instability downrange, which is essential for both varmint hunting and precision target work.
