Browning T-Bolt

Any experience? I came across one today and really interested in picking it up. It's an older one that was made in Belgium. It was very clean.

if you can afford it then buy it. I have wanted one for some time. Great little rifle.

I cannot recall if the browning t-bolts were impacted by the salt wood problems that plagued browning. A quick google search indicates yes. Suggest you do some research on the issue and check the date of manufacture of that rifle.

Me too! I've seen a few nice ones at the range. The feel was nice and it looked well made. The guy shooting it was doing well for him self on the 100 yard targets. I've thought about buying one too but the price is kinda high until I can really start dedicating time to hunt again I gotta stick with what I've got. But still nice to drool over. Lol

I used to own a T-bolt in the late sixties / early seventies and I can tell you from personal experience that the T-bolts did suffer from rusting as the result of being stocked with salt wood stocks.

Yes they were/are. I agree that the OP should pull the action out of the stock and check for corrosion issues. Otherwise, they're kind of neat guns.
