I would think any gunsmith with a drill and a tap and some Torx screws could do that... somewhat false security though.

If you really think you have a problem it should be welded on...

thanks guntech, can you make the 700 bolt handle straight? and install a KMW bolt knob?

Dennis did something similar for me on an Enfield M-17 bolt.

I saw one done like this which broke at the screw location. I used to use a screw as a locator more than anything else when I was changing or re-attaching handles. The broken one I saw used a too large screw in a poor location.
I think the option which is best by far is to tig weld the handle to the bolt body. Second best is simply a good silver solder (silver brazed) joint. Those Remington handles which come adrift are those where the joint was improperly soldered from the factory. Regards, Bill

I have no bolt knobs... but I can install it if you supply it... and I don't quite know what you mean about making the bolt handle straight...??? unless you mean to profile the existing knob to match the straight portion it is on the end of...??? I also am not taking any work in until January. PM or email me.

by making it straight I meant the bolt hand is straight like surgeon bolt handle.

That would require removing the old handle, obtaining a new straight handle and welding it in place. If you supply the handle it would cost about $125 plus return shipping. I would need the barrelled action.
