Yes there is. You can use the back of a claw hammer to pry it off like LordDrac did. Just be careful about scratching the paint. You could also use a vice like this guy. No risk of scratching paint off either.

Good news is that when you pry if off once, it breaks off some plastic tabs in the bolt, and you can remove it as many times as you want without the hammer. But I wouldn't do that too much (except I've removed and reattached the bolts many times on my Longshot and Tri-Strike without issue).

That being said, I don't think it is possible to put it on the Recon MKII without modification. If you look at this picture, the holes where the Recon's priming slide connects to on the bolt sled actually have the breech between them. So the metal rod on the Tri-Strike bolt won't go through to the other side if you try to jam it in. You'd need to ditch the metal rod and maybe attach each bolt head separately with screws. As far as I could tell, you'd be the first to do this. People have made bolt-action Retaliators in the past but they literally just put a bolt on its pre-existing slide and call it a day. Your idea would be a lot more clean but also a bit trickier.
