First attempt. I don't like the bolt knob interfering with my trigger finger so going to shorten the handle slightly and see how that feels.

Wanted: Sterk Tikka t3x bolt
- Thread starter adamk4y
- Start date
Sterk copy, which will better suit a stock with pistol grip or more vertical grip. Doesn't suit the hunter/sporter style stock well IMO.
Shorter handle (10mm shorter) interfering with trigger finger less.
I was a doubter but the rear sweep and large knob makes bolt manipulation much easier and more intuitive.

If I can get them manufactured and priced considerably less than the imported competition then I will.
It seems doable so I am hopeful - Stainless steel with easily available 25mm plastic or aluminium ball knob screwed on.
I'll start a separate thread when I'm further down the line to gauge interest.

Should you want cross model testing I’m happy to do so
Have 695
I’m sure you will have others offering too
Ball size will affect manipulation considerably
The standard AI / SSG 3000 ball knobs are perfect for fast and consistent cycling
Larger knobs have a knock on effect to trigger hand returning to bow and scope interference (which I’m sure you’ve considered)

Any further forward with these ? I am interested in one for my Tikka T3x. I don`t think Edinburgh rifles has their one out yet either.
I've got it designed but haven't reached out to a manufacturer yet. I'll see if I can progress it over the winter.
That may be the reason why Edinburgh rifles is taking their time, trying to sort out a manufacturer at the right price.
Hi Adam. You still looking? I have one but not convinced I like it because of the issue with it interfering with my trigger finger.

Got three of these for Tikka projects that I don’t think I’m going to be able to finish. Brand new sealed for T3X’s, £140 posted if interested drop me a DM. Might not sell all of them, apologies if I have any delay in getting back to you I’m just waiting to hear what my next work pattern will be over the next week or so but trying to get organised for the New Year 
. Thanks

I've sent some info to a manufacturer to see if swept handle manufacture is viable. I'd be threading the handles and doing final fit and finishing myself to hopefully keep costs down. I'll add an update soon hopefully.
Be interested in this still.
Still working on this - looks like it's feasible. Spoke to manufacturer today. Apologies for glacial progress - I've got a lot on the go.
