This may have already been said here, but southernordnancesales on ebay makes good quality bolt handles for Savage rifles. While browsing for a tactical handle for my 11vt I noticed that they are going to be releasing a handle for the BMAG. Thought I would share, because I hate that stock handle.

That would be nice. Perhaps they could make a piece to get rid of that black plastic bolt/safety tang cover thingie.

Yeah, whatever it is. I imagined having a buddy machine a small piece of aluminum in a conical shape, maybe like a truncated bullet and either leaving it natural aluminum or anodizing or powder coating it. I will have to wait until I get my next B.Mag though.

That does look nice. Is it only the knob or the complete lever? Either way I foresee that on my next B.Mag

Yeah I was happy about it too. I don't have the tools to thread my own.

Agreed. I really like this cartridge, but Savage definitely cut the corners on the rifle itself. I hope and pray a similar design doesn't replace the Mark II.

I have a very nice tap and die set, I just don't like when I have to use it LOL.

Received and installed. Took about 5 minutes and it looks and fits great. No problem clearing my Weaver Kaspa scope. Now just waiting for Byods' to come up with a Tacticool stock for it.

Am looking to get one of these handles as well. It does not appear as if the factory bolt handle could be threaded to accept a knob even if you have the tools. My buddy owns one and I saw the factory handle. Is like a bent piece of flat metal, don't think there is enough material to put a thread on it. Am waiting on my B.Mag to arrive and I will see how difficult it is to replace it with one of glades armory. Can't be that difficult.

There is a couple B.Mags at the LGS, I am waiting to find out if the NIB 1 is spoken for or not. I have been building up my ammo supply again :-D

I have the scope I bought still NIB for my previous B.Mag and the same rings just waiting.

Hi all... I just put thise new bolt handle on the B Mag.
Excellent. It easily clears the rather large objective on my Redfield Revenge 6-18.
Only thing I did, was 'upset' the threads and put a bit of Loctite on the knob.......

Now for a different stock, bbl, etc. HA!

O wise one. If you view the early part of this honorable thread, you will find a link to "gladesarmory', located here in the Sunshine State.
Nice folks, too.

I keep thinking about buying one!! Same thing no ammo to be found for it though. If I do I think I might just buy a boyds tacticool for a 17 and make it work. Being a lefty I keep kinda waiting to hear if there going to make a lefty action. How much real world difference are y'all seeing over the hmr?
