I like a lot of military rifles but in most the bent bolts aren't bent enough for good clearance. I'm planning on swapping scopes on a Winchester U.S. Model of 1917 and it looks like I have some room to play when adding a 3-9x40.
Right now it has Leupold see through rings on it. The specs say 1.44 of an inch to the center of the scope.
Leupold tall rings are 1.14 to center and Medium are .89.
I don't think I have the clearance for medium rings but would it even be worth switching rings to the tall ones lowering the scope .3 of an inch.
