Has any tried the Talley Light Weights extra lows on a 700 SA with a Swarovski 3-9x36 Z3 or AV?

The Chosin Few November to December 1950, Korea. I'm not one of the Chosin Few but no more remarkable group of Americans ever existed.

Thanks. Do you think a set a Bulter Creeks will fit as well? I'm worried about the bolt handle the most.

Don't use BC covers but I suspect they'll work.

Are you saying that because of the 36mm objective? The ocular assembly may be the limiter here.

The large ocular Conquest fit on mine in X-lows. Maybe the Swaro has a bigger ocular but that'd be ridiculous.

Conquest and Swaro Z3 have a very similar sized ocular. I run Lows with both, but they should work with Extra Lows. I doubt that BC caps will fit on the ocular without fouling the gearshifter though.

You're likely correct about the BC covers Jason. The reason I don't use them is because they ALWAYS foul a LH bolt handle.

I tried that but I found the open cover blocks most of my peripheral vision as I shoot with both eyes open

I do too. It actually helps, as it acts as a blinder and helps me concentrate on the scope picture. Much like those used by competitive rifle shooters.
Another option I've tried is using an objective cover on the eyepiece.With a low mounted scope, when cycling the bolt the handle opens the cover.

I am a leftie too Nasqam. I tried an appropriately sized objective cap on the ocular which fitted ok, but it flapped backwards under recoil and hit my glasses which was annoying.

I have a 3-9x36 Z3 in extra lows mounted on a short action 700 ti. Easily clears on the ocular and objective end. No issues.
