I recently picked up a Savage 11 Predator XP in .223 because I like my Model 16 in .308 so much. I had planned on replacing the stock bolt handle with the larger varmint rifle size. Upon inspecting the rear of the bolt I find that it is not the usual 1/4" hex bolt holding the handle on. I snapped a cell phone pic of the bolt which is shown above. Has anyone run into one of these bolts? Does it require a special tool to now disassemble the bolt? Help! |

I just did this to the same gun. You need to uncock the bolt cam and it is a standard allen wrench. The little lump in the middle will retract. I grabbed the old handle in a vise to loosen the nut. It is very tight and I could not loosen by hand.
