Benefits Savage Titanium bolt handle

There are several benefits for this replacement bolt handle.

• Much stronger due to best grade 5 titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V).
• Up to 70% lighter in combination with one of our carbon knobs (see weight table in this link)
• Much easier operating in the field with one of the bolt knobs.
• Fully CNC machined and EDM cut wired bolt handle.
• Available in tough DLC black coating (gloss black) or as-machined (silver)
• More weight savings possible when combined with the titanium BAS (2019+ models) or titanium bolt lift kits (pre-2019 models)
• Threads bolt handle for bolt knob 5/16″x24 TPI (threaded lenght to the shoulder 0.5″ (12.7mm).

Besides a nice looking upgrade to your existing rifle, this bolt handle does not saves you only weight. It fits, feels and operates better, it is much stronger and it looks nice. You will not get a stronger, lighter and tougher product anywhere!

Weights

The table linked here contains a comprehensive set of weights for all possible combinations of our Savage handles and knobs that fit them. This is ranked from the lightest to the heaviest combination, and weight savings are displayed against the OEM handle that came originally fitted to your rifle (‘Standard’ or ‘Tactical’) which enables you to calculate the overall weight savings for your particular setup.

Lengths

The image linked here provides the lengths of all our bolt knob options fitted to our titanium handle, and then compares these to the two factory Savage handles which may have been originally fitted to your rifle. Length is measured from the center line of the bolt body.

Included

• This product includes the handle only (you need to buy a knob seperately).

Material

We use Grade 5 Titanium Alloy (Ti6Al4V) for this product.

Installation

There are many models and sub models of different vintages including more recently available aftermarket bolt-bodies out there. Therefore we have found that the dimensions between individual Savage rifles can vary. All the Savage handles are machined as a ‘tight fit’ only as indicated by the corresponding photo in the gallery.

Depending on the tab measurements of your rifle’s bolt body you might need to modifiy some dimensions to fit the product. To determine whether your bolt will fit our handle without modification:

• Measure the two tabs at the end of your bolt body marked by the arrows in this photo using vernier calipers.
• Anything equal to or below 0.244″ (or 6.22mm) will fit. If it is over, the handle needs to be slightly enlarged (hand filing) to fit. Use a small file for this.
• Be aware we manufacture the handles with a very durable stem diameter of 0.447″ (11.35mm) and there is no scallop like that of the factory Savage handles to accommodate clearance required for rifle scopes which may be sitting in low rings or otherwise have larger diameter oculars / scope tubes. The handles cannot be bent and we recommend installing higher rings and/or bases to remedy any clearance issues.

The Bolt Attachement Screw (‘BAS’) secures the the handle to the rear of the bolt body. To remove it:

• Firmly secure your bolt in a well-padded vise.
• Use a 1/4″ hex head
• To remove the existing handle from the bolt body turn this screw counter-clockwise.
• Once removed, the titanium handle will slot into place.
• If your bolt body dimensions are larger than usual, some trimming of our collar will be required (as detailed above) – a small fine file is best for this purpose.
• Apply a small amount of quality bolt grease to any surface modified along with the threads before reassembly.
