Which replacement bolt for Rem 700?

[RDavies]

I see that PTG,Pacific tool and gauge) as well as Tubb/superior shooting systems now offer replacement bolt handles. The Tubb one looks like it has a lot of good features but is pricey, while the PTG one looks good and is not as expensive. Are there any others? Which of these have people used and what are your preferences?

PT&G bolts are nice enough, but they do need to have the bolt lugs fitted to the new receiver. They are plenty long when you get them.....
I should read closer first thing in the morning:,
I did just get a XP-100 bolt back from Dan, he put a SS 700 bolt handle on it for me and it's a super job, and was returned in a weeks time.... At $70.00 it was a bargain...

Go to www.accu-tig.com and look at Dan's handles and he will tig weld it on. It is a bargain.

These bolts Dan make up look good, but I am in Australia. I take it he would need to have the action with him to get the length and timing right??
How about with the Tubb bolt, it look slike it is a drop in deal,with lug lapping). Is that right?

Dan does not need the receiver. He will ask you to give him a few measurements from your receiver and he can do it from that information. He really understands bolt timing. If you buy a bolt with the handle already attached, it will not have the proper timing unless they just got lucky.
