This bolt was on a XP100 action used for a bench rest rifle. Anyone know what company made it.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

The handle is solid as a rock. Just want to change the bolt out.
Butch never heard of Burns. Are they still in business?

I do like that huge extractor but I do not care for the coned bolt head. I see no advantage to it.

That may be a Pacific Tool and Gauge "Precision Replacement Bolt". They offer a cone bolt nose as an option.
A cone bolt nose is required for use with a coned breech. Some benchrest shooters use a coned breech for better feeding. Others like a coned breech for super smooth feeding in rapid fire events. 1903 Service rifles and original Winchester model 70 rifles were built with coned breeches.

You can put any kind of handle or shroud on them. I use to take my shrouds and machine flats on them, just to be different. I think Remington bolt handles are ugly. If that were mine I would replace the handle.
My customer is buying a Rem M7 bolt from PTG. He want to sell this bolt body. I'll put it in the classifieds.

I understand that Butch, but do you know of anyone that would take a Time and put a Remington handle on it? I'm sure it could happen, just like someone could take their Porche 911 and transplant a Fort Pinto motor into it.
