miller86 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hi all Was wondering what your thoughts were on the browning t bolt, was thinking off trading in my ruger for one but not sure as I love my ruger but would like something different but only if it's worth it.

andrew f Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 I have used a t bolt its nearly in the same class has a CZ just that the t bolt comes with a spare mag unlike the cz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blunderbust Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I had mine for 6 months and the only reason I got rid was the trigger was not good. Other than that the rifle was fine, I now have an Anschutz and the difference is unbelievable. With the T-Bolt I was lucky to get under the inch at 60 meters with the Anschutz I am now looking at 1/2" every time. I also had a CZ 452 which gave me 3/4 or less all the time (granted with a trigger kit fitted) that I swapped stupidly for the T-Bolt thinking that the T-Bolt looked the part. I have to admit if a trigger kit was available or if I had had some professional work done on it, I might still have had the T-Bolt. The good thing about all my chopping and changing is that I have eventually got the Anschutz and will never ever change that . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landofficer Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Trigger is heavy even with the adjustment, had one and sold it very quickly at a loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aga man Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Trigger is heavy even with the adjustment, had one and sold it very quickly at a loss. Two good mates of mine have both just done the same for the same reason. They are going back to cz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spready Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 I had the trigger sorted by my local gunsmith , he stoned the sears and managed to get the pull weight down to a nice 2.lb , now it's really nice and useable . I've head timney are brining out a solution in 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srspower Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 I am planning on getting this rifle tomorrow in Walnut. The trigger did seem a bit stiff in the shop but a guy told me who owns one that the trigger does take a while to 'bed in' and after that it is a lot better. And if it bother me that much I'll get a gunsmith to work on it. I know it maybe shouldn't be part of my decision but it is a gorgeous piece of wood, like the daystate of rimfires. Much more nicely made than a CZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more nicely made than a CZ. I've no experience with these guns though it made my short list when I was looking, but it would seem that the trigger is an issue as some members have said. If it were the daystate of rimfires I doubt the trigger would need looking at as soon as it's bought but that said I hope you get on with and enjoy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After trying it the trigger did seem heavy but not bad at all it broke crisply and I felt in control. And it goes down to 3.5lbs, I guess the idea from Browning was that a lighter trigger isn't as safe when hunting. Its not a question of quality just preference at Browning HQ I guess. Either way I am excited, will post pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
