Rem 700 bolt handle fell off fixable?

New bolt cost approximately 300 from pacific tool , I think they’re a US company so $400 plus shipping.

And that’s if they ship to Canada

Good luck dealing with pgt. Lots of horror stories

Just thinking of a catastrophic failure.
Thought maybe the bolt handle would slow the bolt down , on its rearward movement.

Lost a bit of confidence in it now… lol

The parts of the bolt that stop it flying out the back of the action are the two big lugs at the front end. The handle has nothing to do with that. Eve with the handle broken clean off, the bolt wouldn't come out the back of the action.
 
I just put a bunch of trigger parts on the EE along with 3 bolt handles... oops - ALL sold!

Too bad it’s not a short action. I know where there is a new bolt.

I have a spare SA bolt, w 308 face. I looked and looked and looked and then finally ordered from PT&G and then 4 or 5 months into waiting for them to complete my order, I finally found an OEM Rem bolt body ... so I bought that one too. Couldn't find one for forever and now I have an extra one.
