Bolt Knob/Scope Clearance

[Hawk in WY]

On of the many things I like about Accuracy International rifles is the bolt knob is well clear of the scope.

I understand that with proper manipulation of the bolt, the clearance between the knuckle on your thumb and the scope should not be a problem. However….

Does any other modern action provide the separation of thumb and scope the AI offers?

If my AXMC weighted ten pounds, I would be the man with one gun.

I have only used actions with 90° bolts with the exception of my T3 and never had any issues with clearance.
I guess if you grab the bolt with a closed fist around it like a gorrilla it could be an issue but otherwise i cant see it.

Terminus, tikka, and anything else with a 60 deg throw will give you more clearance.

ARC has actions with 83, 80, and 75 degree throws.
