My Browning has a funny bolt

[islander2011]

Good evening.

I’ve owned several Browning X-bolts (always hunter and medallion models). They’ve always come with the standard “smartie” bolt knob.
Recently I ordered myself to an X-Bolt Micro Midas in 6.5CM from Reliable Gun. When it came in the mail today I was pleasantly surprised to see this bolt handle.
Has anyone else seen one of these on a regular x-bolt?
I think the knob might even be threaded.
Anyway I really like it. I think it’s an improvement over the standard browning bolt handle.

I like it. Well, except its on the wrong side. I'm gonna have to pull my xbolts out and see.

Yes it’s a left handed model. I prefer left handed rifles because they seem to be owned by nice, intelligent people who are just great to be around.
I did some searching on the Browning website, these bolt handles are shown on a lot of their higher end and long range models. Also, it doesn’t even list 6.5CM as an option for the LH Micro Midas. Weird..

Well I think you won that one unless you want to send it back for warranty.
