I want to get Browning T-bolt, but I am not sure if in .22lr or .17 HMR.
During the prior 2013 ammo panic, 22 WMR (22Mag) was easier to find than 22LR (which was impossible to find) or 17 HMR (which traditionally has less selection).I want to get Browning T-bolt, but I am not sure if in .22lr or .17 HMR.

22Mag is pricier than 22LR during normal times, and usually less than 17 HMR. I checked Ammoseek, and while prices are higher, there still seems to be a decent amount of 22Mag out there.
I actually have a Browning T-bolt in 22Mag (pretty maple stock too). Love the gun, and the speed of the action. But it's probably midway down in my 22Mag rifle collection in terms of accuracy.
You know what would be really cool? If Winchester would license the magazine from Ruger so that standard 10/22 magazines would work with it. I bet they'd sell a lot more of them if they'd do that.
It doesn't really look like it is much cheaper than a 10/22. I dont see the advantage. The ruger has way more support and parts availability.

I just realized that you can get a T-Bolt with a threaded barrel! Hmm - magnum caliber suppressed or maple wood? Tough choice.
The thing that annoys me about many .22 platforms is they aren't all that solid. Pot metal and plastic. My .22 AR is pure AR with the exception of the CMMG BGC and .22 LR barrel. Much more solid.
