Let's see your bolt knob checkering - looking for ideas.

This is my Heym SR30 6.5x68 bolt knob:

Here is my Mauser M98 375 H&H bolt knob:

Here is my Steyr SM12 9.3x62 (Does a butterknife bolt handle count??)

While it may look kind of cool it would be nothing more than silly decor for me since I just palm the knob as fast as I can with force when cycling a DG rifle. Even the minimal, shallow checkered ring around many Win 70s isn’t necessary. I have even peeled the skin on my palm in the process and IMO any serious checkering would increase that potential.

As an aside—- I wonder if the pinky should be held up when cycling a bolt using only the index finger and thumb…. maybe SOP when cycling a “paddle” bolt? :):)

Very beautiful.

Is it correct that these are factory produced boltknobs, and that the M03 boltknob is interchangeable with the other Blaser Group rifles? Or was this specific one a custom?

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
