Tikka T3/T3X Swept Ball Bolt Handle

Upgrade your Tikka T3 or T3X with the HVHA Swept Ball Knob Bolt Handle — a clean, functional upgrade designed to improve bolt manipulation while retaining the simple, proven feel of a traditional ball knob.

The swept handle profile provides increased clearance and a natural operating position, while the large spherical knob gives a positive, comfortable grip for fast and consistent bolt cycling.

This style was previously well known through Sterk bolt handles, which are no longer being produced. The HVHA Swept Ball Knob Bolt Handle provides a high-quality alternative for shooters wanting the same practical swept-handle concept for their Tikka rifle.

Suitable for hunting, target shooting and general-purpose rifle builds, the design combines improved ergonomics with a simple, understated appearance that suits both factory and custom rifles.

Premium Materials & Precision Engineering

The handle is manufactured from Grade 5 titanium, providing excellent strength, low weight and corrosion resistance.

It is paired with a precision-machined 6061-T6 aluminium ball knob, giving the handle a lightweight but solid feel during operation.

Each component is CNC machined for consistent fitment and reliable operation.

The swept profile moves the knob into a comfortable operating position while providing additional clearance around the stock and optic area.
