Ruger Safari Magnum bolt handle

Anybody know it there is a replacement bolt handle for the stock "S" shaped one? I think that one with a slight backward sweep would fit in the existing stock "groove. The standard bolt handle doesn't stick out quite enough for my liking.
Thanks.

no, but the bolt is stainless, so it may be troublesome to find anything but a custom turned one... and then it will have to fit the stock cut .. you could have it bent out a bit, or checkered

If you can (or have someone)take some of the dog leg out of it you can gain a bit of length. Or chop it off & tig on what ever you like. Buy a piece of 3/4" or 1" 316L & find someone in your area to turn whatever you want?
