Because you never used them , if you had you would have a problem even opening the bolt.

Name rifles and scopes in question?


This is the question I was answering:

THis is what I was answering and why I like short lift bolts


You asked about missing a shot because of an extra 30 degrees of bolt lift. I have not missed any shots because of whatever amount of bolt lift was involved at the time.

Now if you're asking have I missed a shot because I couldn't open the bolt because it hit the scope, that's a silly question. Whatever the scope, whatever the rifle, I mount the scope so the bolt is operable.



My argument is there is a very valid reason for rifles with short bolt lifts. I pointed them out. Done with this discussion
