    Bolt handle to scope clearance

    I need a little bit more clearance between my scope and bolt when cycling. Has anyone successfully heated and bent a model 10 bolt handle or should I not bother and just get a tactical bolt handle from a 10TRhttps://imgur.com/a/qYV8W33

    I looked at your picture but could not see the clearance issue. I think you will be fine once you mount a scope.
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    It's a bit tight. It has a 34mm tube so the eyebox is a little bigger than a scope with a 30mm tube

    So that looks like the handle does not touch the scope, but it's just a tight fit for your hand on the knob. In that case get the tactical handle...it's a lot longer and will give you the room to hold onto it.

    I shoot left so when I'm using a right handed firearm, I don't need as much clearance as someone right handed but I'd like a little more. Thanks for the advice

    Off topic, but is that the new gen Strike Eagle? How do you like it? I was thinking of picking one up...
