What bolt knob style do people gravitate to, while trying to keep weight reasonable? I've been looking at the x-long tactical knurled, but I've never even handled a knurled knob, so not sure if I'd like it. This is not for a 24lb bench gun, so I am counting oz, but willing to sacrifice a few for comfort/shootability.

Also, what do people think about the heavy tang vs. standard? The heavy tang definitely adds weight, how much I'm not sure, but I'm curious if it's worth whatever it might be adding for the rigidity. Aesthetically, I'd be fine with either.
 
Standard tang, and tactical knob like the one I have for sale...
How much does it weigh, sans trigger? Do you have the bolt knob weight, as well? Why standard tang over heavy, and why that knob vs. x-long or x-long knurled?
