I have heard somewhere that Browning was going to revive the T-bolt 22 rifle this year. Can't remember where, so has anyone heard or knows anything about this? Thanks

I sure hope so! Always wanted one. According to the 1973 Shooters Bible it had "exclusive straight-pull action". Repeater or single shot,24' bbl, weight 6 lbs, peep sights, recessed muzzle, select walnut stock. It was made in two grades I & II. As best I can remember from the write-ups at the time, they shot like a house-on-fire. Hope this helps. VB
 
The magazine is a new "double helix" design. I'll bet the new one will outshoot the old model by far. Older T-Bolts were pretty accurate, but not always outstandingly so, in my experience. I think it interesting they're bring it back out after the dismal failure of their straight pull centerfire bolt action of a few years ago. I hope the T-Bolt makes it, as much for nostalgia as anything.
