Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Leupy VX-5HD 3-15x44 on a pre 64 M70

My son is looking at this scope, will the bolt clear the eyepiece with Low or Medium talley 1pcs?

Leupold lists the eyepeice diameter on those scopes at 1.8".
If your rifle has the origional bolt handle not altered for more clearance , I don't see how you can get away with anything lower than the Talley nediums.

I have a set of Talley LW lows on my pre-64 based custom and the vx5hd. When I run the bolt fast it will kiss the ocular.'s side. I have never had a problem with it but mediums would be better in that regard

I have a McMillan edge stock on it and mediums wouldn't offer a good cheek weld for me though.

I was trying to scope my CZ452 last week. The bolt was hitting any scope i tried to put on it other than the 30- year- old Burris 2-7 it had.. i could find any new scopes that didn't have giant ocular housings. I had to put a picatinny rail on it to get the clearance.
