brown dog Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Well, in these days of sh1te, thought I'd share something that is unexpectedly brilliant - I recently rebought a .22 I'd sold years ago. Whilst 'away' the new owner had a mini-badger bolt handle fitted (by Baldie, I think). A posh bolt handle on a .22 is something I would never have thought of doing. Yet, the effect is bloody brilliant... it transforms the feel, handling and look far beyond anything I would have imagined. That is all 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSG Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 I got a similar one for my Sako Finnfire . Makes it far better to use. Mine is on the correct side however!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t sure it could be done at all, but as always Dave made short work of the job 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodlander Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 I’ve just bought a Finnfire, that bolt handle would make a sexy rifle even sexier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourtyvoats Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 I just replaced the bolt knob on an Anschutz 1712. Handles better and looks better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourtyvoats Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 They are available from Target Rifle suppliers such as intershoot ahg Anschutz Round Bolt Handle (intershoot.co.uk) I think DIP, referenced above, also do one. Most Anschutz bolts have an eight mm thread(-). It is usually hard to get the old bolt off as they are epoxied as well as screwed on. Heat some times works but my attempt resulted in the disintegration of the old plastic knob . New one just screwed on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One on top of two Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Well I can confirm accuracy has not improved with the shiny add on. Which is strange as everyone knows that things are better with shiny bits on them 😂 but this morning I did manage to pop off 3 woodies 4 rooks 1 magpie 2 squirrels 1 bunny It’s better than the horrible ball knob type IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
