10/22 aftermarket bolt handle.

[wcmd]

Good evening everyone,
I am in the market for an aftermarket bolt handle for my 10/22.
I have big hands so I want to get away from the factory one.
I kind of like the Volquartzen bolt handle. For the money it seems like a good option.
I was also thinking of doing the mod of using the 10/22 magnum handle, but by the time I mess around with that I would probably be better off just getting the Volquartzen bolt handle from Rimfire sports.
Any recommendations?
Thanks for looking,
wcmd

i have heard great things about rimfire technologies products, goes a long way to smooth out the action.

i have also seem the magnum handle used, looks quite good. it's not hard to do, just file the peen off the guide rod, be careful not to launch the pieces all over, polish the rod while you have it apart and put the peices back together. you don't need to peen the rod, once it's in the action it will stay together.

I have the VQ one, it's worth the $30. It sticks out enough to easily manipulate it. The PC one sticks out even further if you need more. Check Hawktech as well for parts.

I have a VQ extended bolt handle sitting in my drawer. I've tried it several times on my 10/22, and I experience feeding problems with my Steel Lips magazines with it on. Interestingly, I don't have those problems with the factory bolt handle...go figure. (*EDIT: I'm keeping the VQ bolt handle for a future target build since it seems to work fine with the factory 10 round mags.)
