Thank you for the ideas. I might have actually solved the problem: looking at the Heym rifle picture that I posted here in this thread, I realized that the zoom ring of the Schmidt and Bender scope on that rifle is recessed. I took the scope and measured its ocular diameter and it was a bit less than the Swarovski scope. So, I decided to switch the scopes! The Schmidt and Bender Scope fits well and after some adjustments to the windage screw on the rear base, the bolt handle does clear the ocular! Hopefully I can zero the rifle and this will solve the problem.
If the windage shift is too much and I can not zero the rifle, I think I would give the bolt to a gunsmith and have him professionally bend it.
