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

It'll fit.

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 simply rotate the eyepiece cover 45 degrees to clear the bolt on my lefty rifles.

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.
