Leupold Scope Rings not Tall Enough
Bought these leupold Rings the other day, had the action drilled and tapped, mounted the scope and can't operate the bolt. I also has the bold professionally modified and it still won't clear the scope?? Any suggestions would be appreciated?? Trying to make this scope work on a Mauser.

Taller rings.
Not really another solution that makes any sense.

Bolt handle needs to be worked. Send it to a gunsmith who does that type of work.

Leupold Scope Rings not Tall Enough
Those are the "super high" leupold rings, would have to have it re-tapped for a different system, would rather try and make this set up work, like the modified bolt above. Anyone know who does this type of work??? I would be willing to ship it off?? Thanks for your help

Is there enough clearance for your safety to flip over? I came across a scoped k98 a few years back, and while I was tempted there were just too many compromises to make it work. And yes, get the bolt contoured like that. I think most modern bolt action guns have their bolt handles shaped like that.

Well, got the bolt back from Finchers Corner, absolutely flawless. Completely clears the scope, he actually re-forged the original bolt handle. Added a Timmney off-set safety too, works and looks perfect. Thanks for the suggestion, I would highly recommend Finchers Corner, great Duo from Texas! Thinking of my next bolt to send them. Thanks TMB1!!!!!!!!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Last edited by Stormin_67; 12-29-2016 at 7:25 PM.. |

Beautiful bolt!
Now get that scope leveled, aligned, and mounted properly.

Yours looks good!
I had a action with straight bolt and crap barrel, so I bought a NOS Yugo 8mm barrel and had Finchers Corner fix the bolt handle and made a hunting rifle. Attachment 569592
