The Browning T-Bolt TGT/VMT .17 HMR Rifle (Model 025259270) is a high-performance straight-pull bolt action rifle chambered in the fast and accurate .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire cartridge. Equipped with a 22-inch heavy barrel and finished in Mossy Oak Bottomland camouflage, this T-Bolt model is purpose-built for long-range varmint hunting and precision rimfire shooting. The TGT/VMT configuration combines the lightning-fast cycling of the T-Bolt action with a durable, field-ready camo stock, making it one of the most capable rimfire rifles available for serious hunters and target shooters.
High-Velocity .17 HMR Performance
The .17 HMR cartridge is renowned for its exceptional velocity, flat trajectory, and impressive accuracy at extended ranges. With muzzle velocities often exceeding 2,500 feet per second, the .17 HMR delivers significantly more range and wind resistance than both .22 LR and .22 WMR. This makes the T-Bolt TGT/VMT an outstanding choice for varmint hunters targeting prairie dogs, groundhogs, foxes, and coyotes at distances where other rimfire cartridges begin to lose effectiveness. The 22-inch heavy barrel maximizes the cartridge’s ballistic potential while providing excellent heat dissipation during high-volume shooting sessions.
The straight-pull bolt action of the T-Bolt allows for extremely fast follow-up shots, giving hunters a major advantage when multiple targets appear in quick succession — a common occurrence during prairie dog hunts.
