Thanks Old_pa for the very informative explanation.
I will go for longer (>=24") barrel. I know it's way overkill for 100 yard target shooting, but hey aren't we all "gearhead" and overkilling everything already ---- headphones, amps, CD, LP, ....
This whole site is built on a big slab of overkill. Make sure you take pictures when you get that thing. Maybe Old Pa can have us over for a first annual Head-Fi "Shoot stuff @ 1000 Yds and Listen to Headphones" meet.

Unfortunately there is only one thousand yard range in MN and I'm not a member. I usually shoot out to just 400 yards, but you can figure out a lot of stuff at that range. Wouldn't mind hosting that meet just as soon as I'm sure all attendees are going to be safe with guns.

Old Pa do you have any idea what kind of rifle this is? Belongs to my brother-in-law. T-bolt. The barrel and butt-plate says it's a Browning, but it also says made in Belgium on top of the barrel. Five shot magazine and it also has a diopter rear site. He says it was some sort of Olympic style shooter. These are the only pics I have at the moment...

I was unable to identify it in a cursory check through some of my books, but that check reminded me of how many gun makers Browning (the sports marketing company) contracted with to put the Browning name on their guns through the years. I think the key is going to be that straight pull action. Are their any dates of patent or manufacture on it? Any country of origin? I'll keep looking. BTW, if you have no more pix of the gun, we'll settle for more pix of the girl.

I'll try and grab some more shots in the next couple of days. There also appear to be some markings on the bolt, but I'll probably need a macro to get those. Until then...
Couldn't use my flash

Looks like a sporterized Browning T-Bold Belgian .22 to me. I inherited a similar configuration on a Springfield Armory 1922 MII from my grandfather. The rear sight is the sporterized addition. Seems they were popular for competitive shooting back in the 60s and 70s. So you have a really heavy .22 with a peep sight for competitive shooting.

It's actually pretty light. First chance I get I'll take a few closer shots.

Browning has marketed rifles made by FN, Winchester, Sako, and a Japanese manufacturer among others. Do you know who made the T-Bolt Belgian .22 rifle pictured? FN, maybe?

It's an FN. They've started making them again, but this time in Japan and only in scoped configurations.
