Show me a rifle with a high power scope and low rings. The bolt handle isn't the only problem you'll run into. The objective lens of a high power scope will contact the barrel using low rings. Scope size and ring height go hand and hand. Big scope high rings. Low rings small objective lower power. I wouldn't and didn't passing up an excellent rifle for non-problem. Don't want to use a cheek pad. Put a 0-4 x 22 or 4 x 22 scope and medium rings without a rail. Those are actually medium rings and that's a 30 mm. tube on my rifle. The rail gives added height. So again what are they complaining about?
