Any word on when the new LH Browning T-Bolts will be available for purchase?

Cliff LyleAccording to someone on here a week or so ago, It may actually be next year before they are available. I hesitate to say that because so many things can change but I am prepared to pay in advance in order to get one.

FjoldDo you mean the Browning T bolt rimfires that they list in their catalog?

Vol717My wholesalers are now showing them in their on-line catalogs. That usually doesn't occur until the manufacturers are putting them in production. I'll get one when they come out, so I'll report as soon as I get one. Expect them by summer.

Cliff LyleThat's good news Vol. I have an old Belgian LH T-Bolt, T-2 with the upgraded wood and longer barrel.
I would prefer to get one of the varmint models in either 22 mag or 17 HRM.

Vol717I too have an old T2. My gun has upgraded sights, Talley sling swivel bases and an oil finished stock. I still shoot it with the irons. As I have two .17s, I'll be ordering a .22 Mag. for myself.

Cliff Lyleyour T-Bolt sounds very nice. I have a Remington 597M .22 mag so I'll most likely be leaning the .17 way.

Ian (VA)I have an old LH T2 that I gave an oil finish last year as well. It's a fly-killer with the "cheap" ($5/box) Eley stuff. I think I'll go for the .22WMR in the new one... hope it is as capable as the Belgian one.

Cliff LyleVery nice work. Did you do the checkering as well or is this a T-2?

Ian (VA)Thanks, but no, it's a T-2 like yours.
You know, I haven't seen one of the new T-bolts in person, but I wonder if the plastic trigger guard/magazine will leave me a bit cold compaired to these older ones...

Cliff LyleI feel they are somewhat different than the Belgian guns. Not better, maybe not worse, but different.
