Bolt hitting scope

Firedad · Mar 19, 2024

Looking for advice, I put on the youth stock which fits and I’m happy with that but the bolt handle will hit the scope once I put on the appropriate height rings. What’s the best route? Higher rings with cheek riser or modify the bolt handle? Anything else?

Probably gonna need to get a cheek riser unfortunately. Put up a pic if you’ve got one

Finishing up dinner then I’ll throw a pic up here. Keep in mind the rings mounted don’t hit but are too high for the kids. I forgot to mention that part, although I did mention youth stock.

Less than .2” clearance. They are 1”height rings. I’m thinking now they aren’t getting much lower anyways are they? Maybe .90”? Cheek riser it’ll have to be.

A cheek riser is an easy fix. What brand rifle is it?

It’s a savage. I went and bought a simple bearpaw cheek riser for $24 so we’ll see how that works. I have to say the stock I got from savage is a hell of a lot better than the original one it came with.
