98 MAUSER RIFLE
I mounted a set of 2-piece bases and a set of see thru mounts on my 98 Mauser w/ a bent bolt. The trouble i'm having is that when you open the bolt, the bolt knob hits on the bottom of the scope. Any ides anyone. Thanks

You need to get an higher rings. If you have an low, try an med. set, if you have an med. set try an high set or shimming the mount. Is this an aftermarket/gunsmith turndown bolt handle?

Sir, not sure about the bolt handle but will try some higher rings. Thanks 0 -
"I mounted a set of 2-piece bases and a set of see thru mounts". I don't think you'll be able to find higher rings, you need to have a new bolt handle welded on or the original 'forged' lower. the is s.o.p. for mounting scopes on m-98's. you'll also need a 'scope safty'. 0 -

Go with a scout setup.
You only get limited magnification and you'll get a more narrow field of view, but on the other hand, you can mount the scope nice and low, and not worry about eye relief or bolt clearance.

peedad,
Your solution leads to no cheek weld and your head positioned above the buttstock. You need to cut the existing bolt handle off and weld a properly designed new handle on.
This is a straight bolt handle
This is a bolt handle with a radius bend
This is the proper method for using a mounted scope
The bottom example is from an FN or Interarms Mauser bolt.

Sure - quit now, unless you enjoy constant re-zeroing.
See-thru's are universally recognized as KRAP.0
