I made my Winchester '17 into a 375 H&H AI. I have to finish the wood yet - gimme 2 more years and it will be done.
I flopped my bolt handle forward. I LIKE the dogleg, but I like it the other way on a heavy recoiler.

I don't like my trigger finger being bumped, either. That set up should give you plenty of space.

On a couple of rifles, I flattened the bolt knob, removing the part that hit my finger.

Works very well and you don't really notice the modification, viewing the rifle from the side.
