Browning T-bolt Left Hand guns are in stock
I just ordered a LH Browning T-bolt in .22WMR for a customer. Also in stock at the time I ordered were left hand T-bolts in .22 LR and .17HMR. I took the last .22WMR but I'm sure there will be others. Only one of the 7 distributors with which I have accounts has them in stock. Contact your local dealer if you want one. If you can't get one locally, let me know. Perhaps I can help.

You've got the market cornered, then. I called all the locals and none have or can get them just yet.
The urge to order up a matching Micro and T-Bolt set is starting to get the best of me.

Vol,
I will touch base with my dealer tomorrow. If he can't get one, I'll be calling on you.

Vol, My FFL's distributors don't have any in inventory yet. What is available?

There are two 17 HMRs available in left hand.

Has anyone purchased or shot one of the 17 HMR's?
I was wondering about the accuracy and how well the feeding was.


My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

I just mounted a scope and zeroed the LH .22 Mag T-bolt I ordered for a customer. One of the advantages of owning a shop with a rifle range is that I get to shoot a lot of new guns, and someone else pays for the ammo. I zeroed the scope in eight shots. Bummer! I was hoping for a long shooting session. I went ahead and shot a whole box of shells anyway, at my own expense because the rifle is so pleasant to shoot. At 75 yards, the rifle groups 5 shots into 1-1/4". I think it would do better with a more powerful scope, but I can't knock a 4X Leupold. I may have to get one of these myself. I really like the stock style. I was a little surprised to see that the rifle ejects the empties to the right!

Hey Vol,
Are you getting any word on the varmint configurations and when they may ship? I may be forced to consider a sporter and varmint configuration. Damn the luck... jumping

I sold a rifle to get one of these in .22LR but I just can't make up my mind. I'd prefer the heavier barrel, but I prefer the stock on the sporter.

The Browning web site and the fellow I talked to at Browning say both stock have the same amount of drop at comb and at heel. How can a classic and a Monte Carlo stock have the same drops?

Vol, when I make up my mind I'll have to get one shipped in to a local FFL. Feel free to PM what you have available. thumb

Only one distributor among the ten or so that I have accounts with has any left hand T-bolts. They're all standard sporters but they are available in all three calibers. Only one each in .22LR and .17 HMR and 2 in .22 Mag.

Do you know if any are in production yet? Price?

Placed an order today locally for both a RH and LH Varmit model in .22 mag. Will post when they arrive and how they shoot.

My dealer received both rifles today. Will post a couple of photos of the leftie when I get some time. Cheers.
A quick review: Wood is ok on both, nothing great. Inletting seems pretty good as well, bluing is very nice. Triggers break clean at about 4-4.5 pounds. I like the lack of creep but may turn them over to my smith at a later date to get the lightened a little if they turn out to be good shooters. Glad I ordered the varmit models as the barrels do not appear to be to big and rifles seem to weigh in at about 5.5 6 pounds naked.
