PTG long swept-back bolt handle Remington 700

[armydog]

So I'm looking for a replacement for my bolt handle on my Remington 700, not sure I care for the badger style knob replacements I really like the longer swept-back AI style handle I have on my Tikka so I did a little research and ran across this from PTG, has anyone had any experience with it? If so what do you think can you post some pictures so I see how it looks on a rifle?
Thinking this with a round knob might be the ticket.

Never thought it was worth the hassle on a 700 personally.

You planning on doing it yourself? Tig welding the new one in place or just going to solder it?

I would farm it out to a competent.

Just putting this up again, no one has used one of their long swept-back bolt handle's? All I want is a picture of what they look like?

So I got the handle and I think I'm gonna follow through with the installation. I'll have Mile High Tig weld the handle in place. Here are some pictures of the before. Pic of up and down, one with old KRG clamp on knob, and my Tikka. KRG was ok but still didn't have a lot of room between handle and scope. PTG long swept-back handle I hope will give me the clearance and leverage I need to run the bolt faster.

So there you have it, I think it's gonna work out nicely. Once I get it back from Mile High I'll post pics of it and hopefully a good review.

How was your experience with PT&G? I’m considering ordering a bolt from them. Do you have pictures of your completed bolt/ rifle? Or a link to the write up if ya did one?

 

[armydog]

They shipped right away but I sent everything to Mile High and they had to modify the handle for it to work properly. I'll get pictures around after bit.

In hindsight I wish I had gone this way. Mile High did an excellent job nothing against them they did exactly what I wanted.

A new Mack Bros action with bolt would be $200-ishmore than that. Way better investment.
