Fill it. (Weld) Dress top and bottom and refinish. My opinion only...

Put a lanyard ring in the hole for a real conversation piece.

Not worth the time honestly. I locked it into a vice block and put a torque wrench on it. Put 50Ft Lbs on it up and down. It's not going to break anytime soon. Watch the video. I barely have to push down on the bolt and the upward stroke is half of that.

What a shame about the matching number with a hole. I think that I would do as you, leave as is. Or use some epoxy about the same color, which can be removed and can be added at any time in the future. Enjoy it for now. Later 42rocker

I'm looking at this particular rifle build in the utilitarian sense. As basic as possible, working with what I have without having to invest alot of time into this. The master component has a new barrel,the trigger group has been cleaned up and polished,the bolt was taken apart,cleaned and inspected for any wear areas, or cracks. The bolthead is exceptional and firing pin protrusion is right where it should be. The aftermarket PH scope mounts are as basic as you can get with only one hole needing to be drilled and tapped. The muzzlebrake was in a parts box I have and is functional and will provide extra stability when the rifle is fired. One small hole in the bolt handle will not affect any workings on this weapon and will not detract from the aesthetics of the rifle as well either. The broken drill bit left in the handle is the cool factor...

..................or solder a bit of brass into the hole, and stamp your initial on it. Sort of a custom job! :-)

the hole in the bolt does not bother me on a sported rifle - its not a collector , i almost would say i like it for the character it adds ,

That's pretty much why I'm not touching it. I did put a new scope on it today. A ccOp 4-16×44•side focus•Mil Dot•1"tube.
I'm taking it to the range tomorrow morning. The reproduction sniper sling adds to the character as well.
