[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 970086, member: 50867"] I prefer a larger than factory bolt knob, both for hunting and tactical, but I try always to preserve the factory bolt handle angle and I don't want something knurled or fluted. Just a plain smooth surface knob. If I can find a machinist who will take the time to mill the front lower portion of the knob at the correct angle, I like it to be flattened along the lower front side with the edges of the "plateau" rounded off so my hand lifts the handle straight up precisely the same every time I cycle the bolt. Enlarging the bolt knob usually means that the finished bolt handle will be longer than factory but that provides a slight amount of increased leverage that helps in rapid cycling when I have to crank out three shots in thirty to forty five seconds in a match.. gun) [/QUOTE]
