ideaman, i've got a remington m700 with a 3x9x32 scope mounted on it. i first mounted it on see thru rings but it was too high so i bought regular rings and put them on. i like it a lot. it is very close with the bolt handle but it does clear just fine. that is a great rifle. i don't understand why they discontinued it. i hear a lot of people complaining about cleaning them but i don't think it could be any easier. i can clean it in less than half the time it took me to clean my old cva sidelock.
Huh????
You do know that the "not-so-easily-removable" bolt assembly must come out after every range visit to avoid corrosion & possible rust endangerment..... don't you???
You are aware of what the bottom of the scope looks like after those range visits.... aren't you?????
Even my very popular & very consumer-friendly fall-action Omega is not as easy to clean as my percussion sidelocks.
