Bergara B14r oversized bolt knob

[longrange]

Hi all,
I have a B14r in an AI chassis but the bolt is just too small for me. Struggle to run it under time pressure with it just slipping out of my fingers, so looking for an oversized option.

I have an AI ATXC pro and the bolt knob on that is perfect.

Anyone have any experience replacing these without breaking the bank? Struggle to justify £50 for a knob (no pun intended).

Also how easy is it to unscrew and screw an M6 threaded one on? I hear they are very difficult to unscrew.

Thanks

KRG bolt lift or MDT bolt know are both quick and easy clamp on solutions

Been looking at the MDT Snap on ones.

Ive used both and prefer the KRG variant, 2 sizes and just felt better in the hand

The B14 bolt knob was on tight , a baby boa got it off .

I’ll start by saying I’m a cheap-skate.
I wanted a larger bolt knob on one of my my Sako 75s (helps me pick up the correct bolt too) so I got some epoxy modelling ‘clay’ and formed one around the existing knob. It was quick and easy and I was able to make it exactly the size I wanted. I suppose you could make it any shape or colour too.
