Savage Tactical Bolt Handle BT-Style Black (LH)

Fast service, easy to follow instructions, some minor reshaping to match old style receiver.

Advantages: Easier bolt lift

Disadvantages: None in my opinion

The tactical bolt is a much needed upgrade over the standard Savage bolt handle. The larger knob size makes bolt manipulation much easier due to its larger 1 inch diameter grip area and increased weight for a bit of extra leverage. Angle of the bolt handle is ideal to minimize closed bolt "stick out" and allows plenty of room to clear mounted scopes and accessories. The finish matches well with the matte factory finished gen 2 M10 Tactical actions.

Advantages: Ideal knob size for finding and manipulating the bolt without moving your eyes off target.
Handle hugs the stock well for a cleaner no snag setup.

Disadvantages: Standard matte blue/black finish may show wear before long.
Cast metal like the factory handle, not forged or milled steel.
