hi mate,
i dont really know any thing about the browning t bolt .22lr, but if your buying your first rifle you wont go wrong with a cz,ive had two of these in the past,and i cant say anything bad about them,they are a good price to buy,and they are consistenly accurate,and it will last for years how ever much you use it,there ideal for rabbits,i had a parker/hale moderator,and
3-9-40 sights,
sorry i couldnt answer your question,its another option for you.
thanks tillylamp.
