Pro tip on how to install the bolt handle. Check the Chamber of your firearm make sure it's clear squeeze the trigger releasing the firing pin then unscrew the cap and install the bolt handle
I bought the same shaft and knob from Glades Armory. It makes the action on my Savage 10 FCP-SR many times better and easier. I just love it. It is extremely precision made. The mass is not bad because of the alloy knob and the reduced mass in the steel shaft. The fit was 100% perfect too.
***** I love it too man.. a lot of people were saying there is a problem with primary extraction and such but I dont find that at all. Thanks for watching. Safe shooting
cigarbufff Me too. I heard the same thing. Mine extracts and ejects just fine. I was all set to buy the "enhanced items" on the aftermarket. No need as of yet.
I loved glad armory bolt handle, but only one thing that they needed to improve are cz bolt handle need to bend the handle to make clearance so not to hit the scope without additional railing
Finally dude someone makes good videos of the axis and modifications I have ordered boyds pro varmit stock and dnz scope mount and Harris and I have to order this bolt handle and a good quality bull barrel! But I subed dude!
Thx man..ya I agree there wasn't much out there on mods for this rifle..but man for BANG FOR BUCK its gotta be the best out there....I have also done a trigger job on it to bring it to just under 3lbs safely. I love this thing, SUB MOA for me! Thanks for watching and thanks for the sub
I bought something that looks identical from savage... but it was $40 and genuine savage part. Also it is single piece not 2, which can be a pro or a con.
I also have a Savage in 223, with the puny Bolt Handle, I had considered replacing it with something larger but feared the Gunsmith cost for such a small annoyance. Now you have shown that it can be a DIY project at only the cost of the part. Many thanks.
How long was the turn around on shipping at the time if you don't mind me asking. Lately on reviews for shipping has been not the greatest. Any information would be great thanks.
Hey man i also have a savage axis xp in 22-250, mine came with a bushnell scope pre-mounted and the bolt handle to scope clearance is tight as-is. I'm wondering what type of scope you have and if you think a glades armory bolt know would clear with a standard 3-9x40 scope
you should do yourself a solid and get rid of the tupaware stock. The savage factory stocks aren't nearly as bad as Remington's but almost any aftermarket is an upgrade. where I got used to toating a 25lb rifle around I stuck a Choate Ultimate SS on mine and it's insane. recoil feels like a .22 now but offhand is tiresome.
Random but could you put a left handed handle and it still work in a right handed gun? I'm thinking about getting a lefty bolt for me and keeping the right for my wife
i recently purchased bolt handle from gladesarmory, but i don't like it, its too skinny, which one its better bolt handle from gladesarmory or bolt handle from tactical works website?
Should have used loctite 242 on that bolt end lubricating it might cause it to backoff and you'd need to get another...I know it happened to me....Meh....
It says somewhere on their website I prob couldn't find it if I looked again but I'm pretty sure that's it and any of other knobs will fit their handles so they say
Actually, upon closer scrutiny, I do have your model bolt and knob. Except my bolt knob is a bit longer (same look and style). th-cam.com/video/U-l9EBnCoY0/w-d-xo.html. Mine carries FOUR O rings because of the extra length. Glades Armory sent me a FREE spare bolt knob along with the missing O rings from my original order. I was pretty surprised. It is one of the "medieval club" versions. I really looks like a miniature club LOL. It's pretty cool, but I like our version the best. I am glad I asked for the missing Orings. They make the bolt knob the perfect blend of grip and comfort. Glades rocks. Thanks for posting this great video so I could share my opinion.
That is not a bolt handle for an axis,the axis bolt handle has primary extraction built into the handle and is round.there are none like it for a savage.go on glades armory web site and find the proper bolt handle for the savage axis I believe they are the only company that makes them.that bolt handle is for a 10-110,11 etc.
+cigarbufff I have the .270 and it's insanely accurate. It's like a sniper I can shoot a dime at 100 yards HELL its so accurate I can hit an Asian dick at 100 yards now that's accuracy...sorry

The newer ones have a nice bend in the handle and they do work well!
Hello. I bought one for my lefty Axis 30-06 I used your video to guid me. Perfect fit. Thanks for making the video.
I am glad it helped you. Its the sole reason why I make videos Thanks
Just got mine today and install it on my model 111, great bolt feels amazing. Going to have to order 4 more for mine other savage rifles

All the bolt action bolt handles Ive seen have all been threaded 5/16x24.
I also have a Savage in 223, with the puny Bolt Handle, I had considered replacing it with something larger but feared the Gunsmith cost for such a small annoyance. Now you have shown that it can be a DIY project at only the cost of the part. Many thanks.
Anytime. Glad to be of help

This was quite a while ago now and I recall it not being that bad.
@@CanadianGearAddict thank you for the reply. I plan on getting one along with a new bolt sleeve. Have you looked into those on thier site?
i have not actually
@@CanadianGearAddict ok thank you.
@koonner glanville Yes everything is stock
Thanks for the video. After you hand tighten it can you reinstall it in the rifle to decock it then tighten with hex tool?
i dont see y not

i have the standard bushnell scope on there with standard mount believe it or not...It works perfectly
I
Great video, the only thing I would have liked to see was how you personally decocked the bolt without marring it
hey does you oem bolt handle scrape you scope when you chamber a round?
Mine does
And if you run out of ammo in the middle of a battle, you can unscrew that handle off, and use it like a war club or a mace!
you should do yourself a solid and get rid of the tupaware stock.

Ya i might in the future for sure. I did it on my Savage FVSR I put a boyds on it. Night and day diff
U.S. shipping was around 7.00
My problem is my bolt knob slides against my scope when I eject my round.
you need higher rings
Thanks, Excellent video! Hope all is well.
Overcomer Archery hey thanks a lot. Hope all is well with you 2
Random but could you put a left handed handle and it still work in a right handed gun? I'm thinking about getting a lefty bolt for me and keeping the right for my wife
I dont think so, but Im not totally sure
None of my stuff squeeks until my oil is somewhere else/
Hey there thanks for the video! Did you get charge for brokerage coming into Canada? on top of the shipping cost.
I in this instance did not at all. Thanks for the comment
+cigarbuff what size is the hex wrench you use to take off the factory bolt knob?
+Jake DuBois I forget the size sorry bud
It's a 6mm but you probably know that lol.
Will the Savage axis aftermarket bolt arms work on the Savage 10 FLCP-K ??
I'd check with the manufacturer. I'm not sure
+cigarbufff thanks, I followed your link and they make them for the model 10. Awesome. Thank you
Perfect I am sure you wont be dissapointed
do you have the original scope mounts on the rifle
I used to make those bolt handles on a CNC machine for a company in Utah haha. funny when you see shit you’ve made in everyday life
i recently purchased bolt handle from gladesarmory, but i don't like it, its too skinny, which one its better bolt handle from gladesarmory or bolt handle from tactical works website?
not too sure. I haven;t even seen the one from tactical works. I dont mind the glades armory one. I quite like it actually. Thanks for the comment
outstanding firearm. I can use my .243 to nail milk jugs at 500 yards all day long with factory Winchester ammo. SCORE!! That bolt is sweet. Thanks
these Savage axis are great. awesome man. thx for watching
You know if this fits an axis II?
Yes
Did you ever get your chair greased lol I know this is a very late reply to the video 6yrs later
haha I replaced the chair!
will a savage axis bolt handle fit a savage axis 2 xp?
i have no clue
Savage Axis II XP is just a Savage Axis with AccuTrigger and scope combo.
Where did you get bolt handle?
Glades armory
would the axis bolt handle fit a model 11 like the trophy hunter xp
Good question. I'd check the website for clarification
No they are slightly different, they do make bolt handles for models 10/110, 11/111, etc.
Should have used loctite 242 on that bolt end lubricating it might cause it to backoff and you'd need to get another...I know it happened to me....Meh....
thanks for the tip. I appreciate it
5/16x26 threads I believe
bunyon0341 awesome thank you
It says somewhere on their website I prob couldn't find it if I looked again but I'm pretty sure that's it and any of other knobs will fit their handles so they say
Correction any 5/16x24 thread pitch will fit
This work on the newer axis 2 precision?
not sure
Did you ever end up finding out because I’m also curious lol
If you want to sell the original bolt handle I would buy it
+Jon English how much are you looking to spend and also location. you can pm if you want
I am in Hamilton Ontario, where are you?
+Jon English send me your email Jon
You're funny, subscribed.
Do they make this for leftys I can't find them
+Pj Nowell you would know if you looked at the website mate.
They do make a couple for left hand
Ok. Thanks for not being a smart ass
very nice how much for france please
Im not sure your going to have to check the website
Canadian Gear Addict im go to web site
Why not just leave the boat in the gun when you're on doing it I've done that before
Looks awesome

When i bought the bolt handle they said the same thing to me as there was no other style. I haven't had any problems at all
Axis is a mustang, American is a camaro
I prefer a camaro
I've only shot the 22lr American
+cigarbufff I have the .270 and it's insanely accurate. It's like a sniper I can shoot a dime at 100 yards HELL its so accurate I can hit an Asian dick at 100 yards now that's accuracy...sorry
