Tikka T3 Swept Ball Handle Black by Sterk

installed this upgrade and I was totally amazed at how fluid this upgrade made the function of my bolt register. this is the first of many upgrades. wonderful product.

Advantages: smoother bolt action and less fumble with the bolt handle knob.

Disadvantages: none

excellent product, makes the bolt manipulation easier and more natural. Tactical Works Inc. notified me when the handle was in stock and sent email instructions in case of a problem great customer service.

Advantages: easy bolt manipulation, able to stay on target while bolt is cycled, well made.

Disadvantages: Price that's why four stars, but the demand is extreme.

Fit was spot on, ergonomics are just like my AI. Very happy with customer service; had a snafu with my order on my end and they were all over it. Buy with confidence

Product far exceeds Tikka Original Bolld and knob! Easy install.

Advantages: Smoother bolt cycle, AI products are the best
out there.

~TW note: Handle is a Sterk Shooting product not AI.

Very nice quality, fit is perfect. Not as difficult as it sound to install. I would most defiantly buy again.

Very well made and perfect size for my comp rifle, will defiantly be buying one of these for my hunting rifle next.

Advantages: makes the bolt run smoother.

Disadvantages: None, you wont be disappointed.

Installed on a T3x with factory black stock. Also purchased the Gen 2 bolt shroud. Fit and finish are excellent! Not sure there's a huge improvement over factory function but the combination of the shroud and handle is a huge improvement in the looks of my rifle.


Advantages: The swept handle along with the Gen 2 bolt shroud look like they belong on the rifle more than the factory parts do. The finish/color match the receiver nicely. Slightly easier bolt lift. Much better looking rifle after these upgrades.

Disadvantages: None. After the shroud and handle were installed on my rifle, the feelings I had about the price of these parts went away. I would buy the Sterk parts again if I had another T3. No regrets!

Thanks T.W as stated before the only regret I have for this Bolt handle is not purchasing SOONER!!!!! Outstanding work fit!! FINISH!! Quality!!! Is surely Second to None u will not regret this purchase!! In this long range game BUY ONCE CRY ONCE!!!!! Worth every penny thanks again T.W.

Advantages: Too many to list!! Quality

Disadvantages: None

nice finish and fit. I really like the ergonomics!

Advantages: clears the scope easily

Disadvantages: none

If you're looking at this, then you know. Just buy it.

Advantages: Not only is it ergonomically superior, it helps clear the scope throw lever.

Disadvantages: You're a $100 lighter. But well worth it.

Very nice upgrade to my deer rifle.

Advantages: Easy to reach and maneuver. Better looking than the original handle.

Disadvantages: It sticks out further which would be easier to bump while in the field. Just need to ensure the handle is at the fully closed position.
