Overview
Designed for shooters who want more positive control over bolt manipulation, this oversized, extended bolt knob adds leverage and a larger gripping surface for smoother cycling. It is especially relevant on tactical and benchrest rifles where scope clearance and consistent bolt handling matter, and it can also help when extra force is needed to work a stubborn round. The lightweight aluminum construction helps keep added bulk in check, but installation requires machining and threading of the original bolt handle, so gunsmith installation is recommended.
