I'm looking at getting an oversized bolt knob on my remington 700 , can anyone tell me where I can send my bolt in to get it done? I would do it at work but all our mills and lathes are computerized and I don't know how to program it to do so. And if so, can I get a rough estimate for a price? Thanks

Re: Rem 700 Bolt knob

I used phoneix custom rifles for my bolt knob, and I really like the results. I'll happily reccomend them as well. The turnaround time was fast too.
 
Re: Rem 700 Bolt knob

Do yourself a favor if you can and try a few rifles with big knobs before to do it. I have them on all my rifles and if I were to do it again, I probably would stick with stock knobs.
 
Re: Rem 700 Bolt knob

That's interresting. I've never heard negative feedback on the big knobs. Can you explain why you don't like them? I was just about to do that to mine.
 
Re: Rem 700 Bolt knob

They get in the way of my trigger finger. Big hands+big knobs= big interference.
 
Re: Rem 700 Bolt knob

Never considered the interference factor... I will have to go and check on that now. Thanks.

+1. I did this too. He offers slightly slimmer "hunter" style knobs if you are worried about interference. I have a R700 5R and the oversize bolt knob works great and has been a nice feature for faster bolt cycling. No interference from the scope on my rifle.
 
Re: Rem 700 Bolt knob

Phoenix Custom Rifles did mine. They are here on the Hide. Superb quality and quick turnaround. Much better than the small pimple of a knob from the factory.
 
Re: Rem 700 Bolt knob

Looks like there are some good choices here...thanks for listing. I've been itching to get this done.

Hooper did mine, 80 bucks and he quoted me one week turnaround and it came back in one week.He is a member on this forum.

Did a couple myself as well and they came out great. It was easier then I expected.

Hello

I make oversize bolt handles for install on rifles. CNC machined, Mil spec anodized Hard Type 111 standard screw threads for only $23.00 for guys here plus $3 shipping.

Look at ebay, steveflyer8w45 to see the knobs, got lots in stock and ship in a day or so.
