KRG Bolt Lift - pretty cool

Featured Replies

So I recently bought and installed a KRG Bolt Lift for my Remington 700.  For those unfamiliar it is a add-on 'handle' to the bolt-handle .  Rather than a metal piece which needs to be professionally installed (with the metal bolt handle removed and then the bolt handle threaded for another handle, such as the nice and popular Badger Ordnance) this is a two-piece polymer 'sandwich' style accessory... You can just put these two pieces over top of the existing bolt-handle knob and it attaches quite securely.

 

It really does feel good in the hand and substantially increases the amount of 'torque' if you will that you can apply for the bolt.  What I mean is, if it takes X amount of hand/arm force to cycle the bolt, this seems to decrease X by quite a bit making it much easier to cycle the bolt (At least that is my impression.)  Furthermore it swells up the actual size of the bolt-handle in your hand/between your fingers giving you a much more secure purchase of the bolt to hold onto and manipulate.

 

 

For like $30 bucks it was hard not to try and I really like it.  I admit totally I really wanted the Badger Ordnance... i like Badger Ordnance as a company ,I like their bolt knob , and I like high quality parts/add-ons but I was hesitant to spend $100 plus permanently modify my rifle (you need to or at least I would need to send away to them to have them modify the handle to accept the knob).  I still may very well do it in the future but for now this serves a very functional and aesthetic purpose ( I got them to give me a green AND tan knob to match my Manners Composite Stocks forest camo scheme.)

Nice rifle. I was not familiar with this product; thanks for the review. I think I'll get one for my Remington 700.

Hey no problem thanks for the compliment.  This was a really great little addition to a rifle that quickly became the most expensive piece in my portfolio.  Oh and I I only need another say, $3,000 or so before I feel happy and finished lol ;)

 

Anyway one slight recco... I would not ask for the two different colors like I did.  I specifically wanted green and tan halves because I thought it would go great with the camo scheme and I like to be a little distinct from other people.. However as you can see most likely in the pictures, the very top (or bottom depending on your perspective) of the two pieces are not 101% connected to each other.  There is a micrometer-small gap that i just can't reconcile.  We tried clamping with a large vice, tried squeezing and tried screwing down etc.  Just doesn't want to stay 100% tight at the fullest and I am sure it's because I don't have a matching set which was perfectly mated together.  Regardless this issue is NO BIG DEAL other than to a perfectionist like me who notices things like this.  Otherwise it's fine.

 

 

And it really does look good, feel good in the hand, and completely helps the bolt manipulation.  And it's cheap, like $35 total with priority mail shipping in an awesome little metal tin lol.
