I have a pre-64 M70. Its a shooter and not a collector. When mounting a USO SN3 1.8-10
power scope, I found that the bolt handle hits the scope.
I also have a 1962 Rem 700 and mounted the same scope on it and it just barely clears the scope.
In fact I have to take my thumb off the handle and pull it back with just my fingers in order to
work the bolt.
Has anyone else had this issue when mounting a USO on an older rifle? Are you just bending the bolt
handles in order to make them clear the larger diameter eyepiece/magnification ring?
