What is the purpose of these long extended bolt handles that I am seeing on alot of custom rifles these days?
I can see it giving a little more leverage, but I never felt I needed it before with just standard bolt handles.
I can see it being easier to find in a hurried situation, but I can't honestly ever recall finding the bolt knob to be an issue either.
Perhaps I just haven't done enough of the kind of shooting they are designed for, but I really wanna know what are they really designed for.
Problem; gotta take the bolt out of the rifle before putting it in a case or scabbard. Here's what happened when I didn't.
