Browning T-Bolt Target/Varmint No. 025176204 22 WMR

When members of the Gun Tests staff were contemplating a return to North Dakota for a prairie dog hunt, one of their concerns was the cost of ammunition. The last time they traveled to the Bismarck-Mandan area, game was so plentiful they expended a huge amount of ammunition.The .204 Ruger bolt-action rifles proved to be an excellent choice, but if they were going to make the trip again, they had to find a way to cut costs. The staff considered a change to rimfire rifles. Their first impulse was to load up on 17 HMR ammunition. But after checking prices and availability, they decided on a more traditional round that was cheaper and easier to find, 22 Winchester Magnum Rifle, or 22 WMR. It's been a long time since Gun Tests has tested varmint rifles chambered for 22 WMR, and one of the rifles chosen was the $729 Browning T-Bolt Target/Varmint No. 025176204.
