It is my understanding that the bolt handle is shaped that way to get the bolt more in line with the trigger..........I may be wrong but that is what I was told!


It also helps keep the knob of the bolt from whacking your trigger finger when the rifle recoils. Even my 700’s in 350 RM and 35 Whelen do that on occasion.
