Well, the "expert" at SWFA couldn't have been more wrong.
The scope I ordered is most definitely NOT slender enough and the bolt handle smacks squarely into the rear bell using the Warne medium rings.
I'm done messing with it. I like the scope and the rings are solid, so I ordered a stainless steel re-contoured bolt handle.
I'm still very happy with the rifle - it's a beauty, and I can still shoot this weekend with the irons, so I'm happy.
Thank you again for all of the replies. You guys have some very nice set-ups.
