I've got a project rifle. A K98 Mauser that
I picked up that has standard Redfield bases
with extra high rings on it. I'm trying to
find a scope that will be clear when the bolt
is pulled. I picked up a Weaver K4 and it
almost works, but not quite.

I need a scope that has a 1.4 inch or less
diameter on the rear objective bell.
(standard 1" diameter scope tube).

Any ideas ?

thanks! Chris

Leupold ultralight/compact scopes did/do have a 1.4 ocular.....the other versions have 1.6 in the ones I have......the 4x and 3-9EFR I have measure at the 1.4......hth..good luck and good shooting!!

Thanks BigDaddy !

Got'r done.

The prior line of Leupold Compacts had a smaller ocular, however I understand that the current line of Ultralights that replace the Compacts has a "regular" sized ocular.

Another possibility would be to find a Leupold or Lyman Alaskan. They had a 7/8" tube and smaller overall dimensions.

I would just change out the bolt handle, and get the scope I wanted. Bolt handle clearance is common on Mausers.
