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?
