Reply With QuoteLooks good. Wish I would have seen this 2 weeks ago before I paid Savage $115 for a 110 BA bolt arm.
I came to the conclusion that I needed an extended bolt handle on my 110 left handed 30-06. I searched Google and looked at half a dozen sites with handles out of stock and prices from somewhat reasonable to much more.
This is what I found on eBay.....

I bit and was offered a number of different bolt knobs In a variety of finishes. They range in length of 2" down to 1.75"ish, in the white, anodized, and powder coated. I looked the company up and found that they were new to the bolt handle game. I'd bet if you contacted them they'd have some options for you. Here's what I've been playing with-I mean, evaluating....
Sorry for the low quality pic's...iPad.
Observations:
Bolt handle swap is EASY! 20 seconds with an Allen wrench. For bench shooting, the longer bolt handle is very nice, works great with gloves. I'll use the shorter one when I carry in the field.
The extruded ribs on the bolt handle are o-rings in milled channels, I liked them, but you can remove them.
I liked the black anodized finished on the aluminum.
If you've been thinking about getting an extended bolt handle, search around, ask some questions, don't fear the Allen wrench.
Looks good. Wish I would have seen this 2 weeks ago before I paid Savage $115 for a 110 BA bolt arm.
I'm making my own, i like the feel of a bolt handle that is angled back a little, like a (pardon my French) Remington. I'll post pics next week. But i do like what you got there...
Got one of those on my 11. They fit really tight...no wiggle at all like the factory handles. I didn't care much for the o'rings though. But they certainly provide leverage and look awesome. Put it on my son's rifle and he loves it.
Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for and not 120$. Bought a RH. Perfect.
Just got it and installed it. Fits great. The leverage is great. Only draw back, the shaft is very black, but the handle is blueish. Otherwise, love it.......wortg every penny.
looks good, I'll keep this in mind
I think I am going the heat it up and bend it down a lil. Very lil.
That's what i did to my handle. Heated up the small part, bent it back about 15°, then cut off the ball, turned my own knob, installed it, then turned the assembly on the lathe to match the two up. Getting it cerakoted with the rest of my rifle parts next month.
Just ordered one yesterday. Thanks for the lead on these bolts. Hard to find when you are a lefty!
They make these for righties as well. Just got mine the other day and I love it.
