That bolt knob looks hideous.

Here’s the new bolt knob I was posting about a couple of months ago for the Howa Mini (and Tikka). It is working exceptionally well & definitely alleviates and feeling of heavy bolt lift on the Howa.

In all fairness, all oversized bolt knobs look bad.

I’m not a huge fan of the big tactical knobs either. I designed the Plain Jane version to be as slim as possible, and still give enough leverage to counteract the typical Howa bolt lift. The clamp on versions caused me issues with scope interference & howa’s design precludes machining a thread for a traditional screw on bolt knob.

Do you have to drill/tap the hole in the mini bolt knob to accept yours? Or is it a compression fit or something

No drilling and tapping. It’s similar to an expansion collet. Installation takes about 30 seconds with zero modification to the gun.
