Threading a Rem 700 bolt

[ScoutDW]

What is a good price to have a bolt threaded to accept a tactical style handle? I got a quote today that I thought was way to high. Gunsmith recommendations would be helpful too.

What's the size of threaded hole now and what size do you have to open it up to

It's just a stock/standard remington bolt. I want to put a new handle on it.

Robbie can hook you up. $75 (not including knob)

Thanks. Those are what I expected for prices. Wish I lived closer.

Do it yourself. It's not that hard. Grind the factory knob off until you get close, then use a file to shape it to the right boss. Once you get it there, use a die to cut the threads. Get it where it threads on smoothly then a little JB Weld to make it permanent. Takes a little elbow work but it's not that hard.

I have some friends that are machinists. They are my next call. I was just starting with local gunsmiths. I don't think I am gonna attempt that myself.
