Small Bore Sniper,
There are a few good places to get them done here on the Hide. Each one has a few differences on price and technique.
I am currently doing Remington 700, Winchester/FN, Howa, Remington 541 .22 lr, Savage Mk11, Ruger Mk77 and most custom actions.
My bolt knob conversions are performed on the lathe where I can dial in the bolt handle (on round handles) and this ensures that the knob that I turn down is actually centered. This is very important on the Savage Mk11, Howa and Winchester/FN.
On a Remington I do the same but then I actually drill out the center and insert a hardened steel machine screw that is epoxied in place. I do this because just about every Remington handle has some kind of cavity inside of it that becomes exposed. This really helps support the weakened handle caused by any conversion that removes metal from the handle.
