The Browning T-Bolt Sporter is a .22 LR bolt-action with a straight-pull mechanism rather than a traditional lift-and-pull bolt. That design lets you cycle rounds without breaking your cheek weld, which makes a real difference in follow-up shot speed.

Features 

The straight-pull bolt is the standout design element. Combine that with the free-floating barrel — which reduces contact between barrel and stock for more consistent harmonics — and you get accuracy that punches above the typical rimfire range. The gold-plated trigger is adjustable for pull weight. The recessed crown muzzle protects against dings that affect bullet exit consistency. Polished blued finish on a black walnut satin stock gives it a traditional look. 
 

Use 

At just over 4 lbs, the T-Bolt Sporter is easy to carry for small game or an afternoon at the range. The 10+1 capacity and fast straight-pull action suit plinking and target shooting where you want quick repeat shots. .22 LR keeps ammunition costs low for extended range sessions.

The T-Bolt Sporter earns consistent praise for its walnut stock quality and polished finish — Browning's fit and finish here is noticeably better than budget rimfires. Accuracy is the most-cited strength; users report tight groups at rimfire distances, and the trigger pull is described as smooth and crisp.

The straight-pull bolt design gets its own following among shooters who appreciate the faster cycling. Reliability across different .22 LR ammunition types is generally solid.

Price is the usual point of friction. Most buyers agree the quality justifies the cost, but it's higher than many .22 LR options, and some comparison shoppers hesitate before committing.
