Just curious if anyone has any real world experience with these things?
I have been using 700's for over 20 years now, in a lot of different applications. The huge bolt knob seem to be a growing trend. With any trend I usually like to here what REAL people have to say about them before I make a decision.
Is the only real advantage, it's easier to operate the bolt with gloves on? If there are other advantages, please let me know.
I have, in the past operated a few bolts with these things on them(savage scout rifle), they just seem a little cumbersome. In my mind they just don't feel they would give the shooter much of an advantage, besides looking cool. Feedback is always appreciated. Thanks.
BTW, we're getting Internet /computer /network fixed today at 14:00 so unfortunately for you guys I can do posting from my computer instead of the damn phone.
