not sure how long Hornady has had this product out , but I picked one up yesterday 5.99 at farm and fleet.

I figured 6 dollars it was worth trying , I like it it is a tight fit over the factory knob but once on it is staying put. it is a bit grippy , it is a very nice size and it really does seem to improve cycle time

definitely worth it.

the only thing I found lacking on this gun was the size of the bolt handle , it certainly worked but I like it better now just feels better in the hand cycling.

Holy smokes, you're going snag every tree in the woods with that thing grin

Seriously, you definitely can work the bolt reliably now, no slipping or sliding. Haven't seen these before now.

nice I been looking for one to come out that was affordable. I wanted to try one that wasnt permanent before i went and started cutting bolt handles and threading them.

that gun weighs in at 11.4 pounds empty , it is more of a range toy than a woods walker

when a few more dollars get into my pocket I am ordering the light weight relative of that rifle as a woods walker with a goal of keeping it to no more than 7.5 pounds scoped
