Unless there's a significant difference in height between the two bases I don't see how swapping it out is going to help much. My solution to the problem was to grind down the top side of the bolt handle arm to create more clearance, but you would then need to reblue the handle and I'm not sure how cold blue would take since it's a cast part.
If you look close you'll notice that the depth of the recesses on my bolt are about half as deep as they were from the factory.
And here's a show showing the greatly increased scope clearance.
