As many of you I have been looking into a new rifle. One issue I have with the dual lug actions is the 90deg bolt lifts. On my sons 7WSM Savage I mounted a Nikon Monarch 4-16x42 and there is very little clearance between the bolt and the eyepiece. It is so close that the bolt kicks open his Butler Creek caps. He has trained himself to let the bolt kick them open all in one action as it is fast that way. It is also pretty close on my daughters Rem 700 in .243. So I am curious if there are any bolt mods that helps with this or do you use a high scope mount and a cheek swell pad or what?
I guess I am just really used to the way my Sako and the Weatherby's feel and have no clearance issues.
