Alternative lightweight bolt handles?

[South Prairie jim]

it certainly works well, I have no slam fires or AD , I still have a slight burr on the cocking ramp to stay in battery” I have full primary extraction as it’s untouched. My firing pin is almost the same as the factory measurement.
there are several (bolt lift kits available) Nate , PTG, Grimstod, Rayhill
How would you differ ?
i’m curious

Jam up Smith.
And your qualifications are ???

[Robinhood]

I don't have any. I have tried a lot of things and I will tell you that most of mine make me happy. If yours makes you happy then you win.

If I could find my camera I would show you how to machine your bolt and make whatever size and shape aluminum bolt handle you want. Or if you want to weld a .875" ball bearing on the end of an extended bolt handle, I got that too.

I got ya,
This particular rifle is Benchrest only and by no means am I suggesting any person modify any firearm.

I liked to see any of your machine work, I’m always eager to learn anything I can about Savage.

A right then, we are back to light weight bolt handles!

This as from about 6 years back.

Aluminum handled one in the middle. The top was a prototype for a round ball.

There is so much more but those things have been shared before.
