To those of you who own a CA, I looked at a Mesa a while back but didn't buy it. I've read reviews where the Mesa has a high bolt lift and there may be a problem with the bolt knob contacting a low mounted scope. Have any of you mounted a scope with a 40 mm objective close to the barrel as possible?
I also found the bolt knob small for my liking, have any of you replaced the bolt knob with a larger one and did it cause scope mounting issues? They are indeed nice looking put together rifles, they interest me.
I've got a Zeiss HD5 with a 42mm bell on it, pretty sure I've got it in lows - the bolt knob does not hit the scope, but the bolt handle can hit the Butler Creek scope cap if the back one twists.
