Howa Tactical Bolt Knob

It fit snug and fit flush without use of o-rings. It was tight and secure and added just enough length to the handle to be what I needed. Well worth the money

Advantages: Secure and gives more leverage. Looks nice too.

Disadvantages: I don’t have 2 of them. It is a great add on.

Easy to install, fits will with the bolt handle, makes finding the bolt easy to find and operate


Advantages: Quick operation and don't have to take my eye off the target

Disadvantages: There are no disadvantages

just what was needed

Advantages: your bolt knob was very smart- you will need one if u mount a scope

Disadvantages: none

A must have and a beautiful addition to your rifle. Great fit and finish and easy to install. Arrived in good time after ordering, good people to do business with.

Advantages: The ease and speed of manipulating the bolt is now a big advantage over the standard bolt knob.

Disadvantages: None in my view.

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.

This particular product is great and very functional compared to the standard bolt lifter knob. This being my first custom bolt action rifle I have built and added this option on to a rifle some sort of instructions would be nice. This product comes with 2 gaskets but the oversized knob added on will not fit evenly with both gaskets inserted, unless I’m doing something wrong. I don’t know never put this on a rifle. I fitted it up with just one of the gaskets and works great.

Advantages: Easier and faster to lift the bolt

Disadvantages: Needs some sort of instruction pamphlet for dummies like me

This product is both well made and aesthetically pleasing. The machining is precise and the milled pocket fits with minimal slop. However, the supplied o-rings are far too thick to be used on my Howa. After trying both o-rings, one ring, two (thinner) rings of my own, and finally single ring, I finally settled on some very thin receipt paper to act as shim stock in the bolt knob pocket. Epoxy bedding the knob into the pocket would likely be the ideal installation, but the paper shim stock is a rock solid solution at this point. Additionally, silicone plugs for the screw counterbores would be a nice addition to this kit.

Advantages: Quick to install. Comfortable. Good looking. Effective for its intended purpose.

Disadvantages: No installation instructions or suggestions. No torque specs for the screws. Supplied o-rings much too large to use without a significant gap being created.

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
