What aftermarket bolt handles and knobs are recommended for the t1x? I know of Anarchy Outdoor’s and the Sterk. Reason being, I have to break position and move my support hand to grab the stock each time I work the bolt due to the resistance, and I wonder if a swept handle with a heavier knob would help that. I am, however, newer to the .22 scene and am learning as I go.
 
Mine could be pretty stiff, especially with the factory handle.

I got the Sterk, will never take it off. Feels like the rifle it should have been from the beginning.
 
I have the Anarchy handle and their Dragon Scale knob. Much easier to handle than the factory one. But my factory bolt is quite smooth too. Just too small.
 
More texture could help, but that could also be done with a little skateboard tape for a few bucks, say Talon Grip or the like. If you have to manhandle it closed, might want to take it in to someone to look at.
 
First, clean your bolt and receiver, then grease with Molybdenum Disulfide Grease, and if you want it super slick, mix that grease with STP oil treatment 50/50. Cycle a few times and have at it, it will get even better with time.
As for the bolt handle, I’m following cause I want something closer to the sizes on my other precision rifles.

Has anyone found a Sterk bolt handle lately? I haven’t seen them in stock anywhere in over a year. I want another T1X handle, they are great.
I've had a couple on order for over a year ... he said he had a production run set for last year. Some made it to dealers and some direct sales, but I didn't get mine. No reply to last couple of emails, so I'll follow up soon. Hope he's doing okay.
 
G'day Daniel, not a stupid question, wood knob is on a DIANA 820S ,black knob is a FEINWERKBAU 2000. I do have an ANSCHUTZ 54.30 with a steel one inch round knob.Triggers are set at approx 2 ounces and all 3 have the same wood stocks and are used for benchrest at 20/50 /90 metres.:cool: Scott.

My safe is full and my rifles were rubbing. So I went with the MDT bolt cover knob and love it. Good size and no scratches any more. You have to Dremel it a bit to fit. Have it on three T1x's.
