Howa Tactical Bolt Knob

Very nice addition to my rifle well made easy to install.

Advantages: This lengthens the bolt a little and due to its size allows better purchase on the bolt knob.

Disadvantages: None

Tactical Works has the best price, period!
The fit of the bolt on bolt knob is very good. It’s smooth and the gap lines up perfectly. I didn’t use the rubber o-ring and the gap is nearly invisible. Once tightened, it’s solid and it looks like it’s a machined knob. It doesn’t turn or slip. Although even if it turns, it will function just as well. Besides adding bulk to the knob, it lengthens the bolt knob about 5/8 to 3/4 inch.

Great addition to the Howa mini. Much easier to work the bolt with this clamp on knob. Shipping was very fast. Happy with purchase from Tactical Works.

Great improvement! Mad the bolt run smooth only thing is the edges of the grove is a little rough

Advantages: Made cocking much easier coz of the extension this bolt knob provides. Feels like its part of the whole knob

Great product,fits well and enhances looks and function of bolt handle!

Advantages: Adds ease to the cycling action of the bolt

Disadvantages: None

Works great. Huge upgrade.

Advantages: Easy install, no tweaking. Just a good, simple upgrade.

Howa Tactical Bolt Knobs fit & function & beat threaded knobs by a longways in strength because the one piece bolt-body/bolt-handle remain complete & are integral with just the addition of the knob.....Thanks for the best money can buy in production or custom.


Advantages: Function & strength....The best money can buy.

Disadvantages: Nothing but advantages

Easy installation. Good fit and finish. Does what it’s supposed to. Overall I am very happy with my purchase. Tactical works gets 5 stars as well for a easy and flawless purchase. I appreciate that

Advantages: The bolt knob adds just enough mass for great handling and control when working the bolt. And at a great price for a nice upgrade to my bolt gun

Disadvantages: None

I purchased this to use with a Weatherby Vanguard chambered in .300 Win Mag. It fits and functions perfectly. Didn't need the O rings

Advantages: Improves control and ergonomics

Disadvantages: Everyone wants to touch your s%$!

A perfect fit and easy installation. Excellent product to forego the expensive gunsmith installation of a thread knob. Nice to be able to convert that Vanguard back to stock in 30 years when it becomes a collectable!

Advantages: Quick, easy & cost effective

Disadvantages: NONE!

This product is great! I installed it in under 10 minutes and it fit perfect for the Howa 1500 Mini. I have read several reviews where people didn't use the supplied o-rings, but for me I used one and it tightened down without a gap.

Advantages: Great Price for quality product, looks good, and easy to install.

Disadvantages: none yet

Was about like other reviews. Is not seamless but doesn't need to be. Holding up well.

works well

Advantages: easy manipulation of bolt

Disadvantages: installation takes patience.

Fit my Howa miniaction bolt using just one O-ring. I could not believe how much easier it is to use the bolt now. Would buy again.

Advantages: Much less effort needed to cycle the bolt now. My hand doesn't hit my scope when cycling the bolt.

Disadvantages: Non at this moment

Works great. Easy to install.

Bolt knob worked great. The o rings included were actually a little to thick to completely close the gap. I looked in my o ring kit and tried a few thinner o rings and the gap is nearly gone. This is on an 80s model Howa action so the bolt may be slightly different than the newer models. Great solid product.

Bolt Knob worked great. Thanks.

the rubber o-rings were too big for my application. The sides would not come together completely. I use 5 minute epoxy instead. Once dry the bolt handle looked like it was a single part of the bolt

Easy install, nice fit and finish. I put this on a Howa mini and only used 1 of the supplied O rings. I did put a dab of blue loctite on each screw and let it dry before tightening it down. No wiggle no wobble. I’m happy with the purchase and would buy again.

Advantages: Adds speed, indexing and leverage to quickly open the bolt from standing, kneeling and prone. One of the only truly bolt on’s for a Howa bolt.

Disadvantages: None as of yet

Simple, inexpensive and it looks great! Like Bryan said, the included O rings don't fit all that well. I used a very small patch of balloon rubber on one side of the knob and everything clamped up tightly.

Don't hesitate to order from Tactical Works. Lisa and the gang will take good care of you!

Good looking knob, easy install, only used one O-ring. Don't be an idiot like me and not realize there are two lengths of screws for the three holes, and punch the long one right through the handle because you put it in a short hole. Cleaned up well, still looks good.

Advantages: Easier, heavier throw.

Disadvantages: Was not idiot proof enough for me to install correctly in the dark while watching TV.

Outstanding addition to my Howa 1500. The short bolt handle and small bolt knob on the stock rifle made it a little awkward to operate the bolt, especially while wearing gloves. There just wasn't much to grab, and your thumb knocked against the scope when you opened the bolt. But now there's plenty of room for a comfortable and ergonomic grip on the bolt knob with some daylight between your thumb and the scope when you open the bolt. It's an absolute must for any tactical application.

It comes with two small rubber washers to grip the bolt head more firmly, but I found it actually clamps tighter and works better with just one.

Advantages: Easy to install. Inexpensive. Well-built. Very functional.

Disadvantages: The edges of the screw holes are a bit sharp, and can even bite into your finger during operation if you grip at the wrong angle.

This fits my Ruger American Predator nearly perfect. Has a slight gap near the top but isn't noticeable unless up close. Makes cycling the bolt much easier. Shipped fast, ordered Wednesday and had it Friday.

Advantages: Fits Ruger American!
Fast shipping!

Disadvantages: None

Love it, simple and effective.

Advantages: Easy install

Disadvantages: None
