Rem700 5-R Gen2 Bolt Knob Upgrade

[envitro99]

Hi all, fairly new here so just going to throw out a quick question. I searched around and can't seem to find a thread on this.

I have a Rem 700 5-R Gen 2 barreled action and it already comes with an "upgraded" bolt knob over the standard Rem700's, but I'd like to upgrade it to something a bit bigger and meatier.

Is the Bolt Knob threaded on? It sure looks like it is. If that's the case it would seem to be a fairly straightforward swap without any machining needing to be done.

Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks.

If it isn't the classic Remington bolt knob (jeweled) then it should be threaded on. I use a small rubber oil filter wrench to take these on and off.

Yeah, that will definitely thread on and off

I concur. I have one and it's threaded.

Never even took notice that my 5r Gen2 was threaded. Now I'm shopping for bolt knobs. Thanks alot! ?

Anyone know where I can get one of these...

Haha, no worries, I'm glad it helped someone else to!

Does anyone have any oversize bolt handle recommendations that will fit this thread?? Thanks!!

I use his large round phenolic knobs.
Just realised this could be misconstrued equally by the puerile & innocent alike- c’est la vie.
