I have a Stiller TAC 30 that hits my trigger finger when I shoot due the swept back handle. Changed to small bolt knob and have same problem. Does anyone know a machinist that can alter this handle or should I try another style action. Stiller does not have a remedy. THANKS

Re: STILLER ACTION
I had the same problem on my predator v. I milled down the underside of the knob and made it flat then used aluma-black to refinish

Re: STILLER ACTION
I have the same problem. And so do some others I talked to.I thought I was getting a straight handled action when I placed the order. I tried different bolt knobs with no luck. I am going to see if I can have someone cut off the bolt handle right before the bend and add a 1.5 inch shaft then a bolt knob. This will resolve my problem. If I cant find anyone to do the work. I will sell it for a loss and buy another action.

Re: STILLER ACTION
I have never had that problem or heard of anyone with it. What stock are you running it on. Like TAC said its a clone of a Remington.

Re: STILLER ACTION
The body of the Stiller action has a Remington 700 foot print.
The bolt throw in a 700 in 50 degrees and on the Stiller its 60 degrees.

Huh???? The bolt on a 700 or clone must rotate 90* to lock/unlock! So how can the handle/knob rotate only 50 or 60 degrees to accomplish that?? ...or am I missing something?? An A Bolt Browning is 60* as are others with 3 lugs but.......?

going out on a limb here but i think he is referring to the angle that the handle is swept back

Re: STILLER ACTION
Same problem here. I sent the bolt back to Stiller, and for $50, he installed a straight bolt handle. Problem solved.

Re: STILLER ACTION
I noticed the same thing on my brand new Tac338. In a Mac A-5 stock. Only been able to shoot it twice, so I thought maybe it was by big hands.

Re: STILLER ACTION
Stiller sent me a smaller knob. I also took shrink tube and made shield for trigger finger, works ok.
