Edge bolt handle.

[duhast]

Mounted a scope on mt wife's Edge today, with DNZ low mount. There is the very slightest interference between the bolt handle and the eyepiece. I have two questions.

Will a standard Savage tactical handle fit an Edge?

Would it be viable to dremel carve the handle to clear the scope?

Not even close, or even in the same ball park, and no one makes an aftermarket handle for it.

This is not something I would do. If I was in your shoes I would grind the knob down on a sander, and thread it for a knob, like the Calhoun's sold by Midway.

It's not the knob, it's the high point of the curve of the handle, and it's really just a kiss. I could probably flatten the peak of the curve by .020 and it would clear...

I just sent you a pm telling you how to fix a problem you didn't have. :D
