   Bolt knob looks good, machine quality is pretty decent. Machine pocket for bolt knob is way too big and the hot melt glue they put in it isn't enough and it is sloppy on the bolt handle when completely tightened. I had to put a rubber o ring in on the bolt knob to keep everything tight so it wasn't sloppy.

   I had recently replaced an old 3-9×40 hunting scope on my .260 Rem. Model 7, with a modern DMR style scope, but with the much larger ocular bell, there was almost no way to grasp the bolt handle knob to run the bolt. My 2 options were, replace the medium rings with high rings to get a little more clearance, or try this bolt handle extension. Replacing the rings would require re-zeroing the rifle, and cause ergonomic issues (head placement at comb). This bolt knob gave extra length for me to get a firm grasp on the bolt handle and it still cleared the ocular bell. The pictures just don’t do justice to how big this knob is. I’m a little confused at the pricing. It should be comparable to the various screw on tactical knobs out there, which average between 30 and 40 bucks. At $50, this thing is overpriced. My model 7 is a late ‘90’s vintage with checkering on both sides of the knob (same as was used on m700 BDL rifles of that era). Fit was a little loose, so I wrapped one layer of black electrical tape on the knob before I clamped the new knob on, and that tightened it up nicely.

   I have been making do with used gun show/handed down scopes for years, and I recently decided it was time to upgrade them to modern scopes with nicer glass and modern features. This presented a problem, as I didn't want to replace all of the mounting systems that had proven reliable. When I replaced the old scope on my Remington model 7, it had 1 in, low rings, but modern scopes these days come with really large ocular bells. The bolt handle will clear the side of the bell and the adjustment ring, but it doesn't extend past far enough to allow a firm grip. I end up having to push and pull the bolt handle near the middle of the stem, which I do not prefer. This bolt knob is the solution. It extends the length enough to allow me to grip the farthest out "knob" and run the bolt like normal. It is a much less invasive solution than cutting and welding a new bolt stem. When installed, there was a little wiggle, so I put a couple of pieces of electrical tape on the bolt knob and reinstalled the new knob and that tightened everything up nicely. I ding it one star, because it seems like it's overpriced by about $10 for what this thing is. There are a couple of polymer alternatives on the market, but they only make the bolt knob fatter but not much longer, so that wasn't going to help. Changing to higher rings would have necessitated a stock with a higher comb for proper cheek weld/eye alignment, so this thing seemed like the best solution.
