Hi Folks,
I have a CZ 455 Canadian, Nikon Prostaff Rimfire 4-12x40 scope on Warne 721 rings.
The bolt is too close to the scope zoom lever when zoomed to 12 power. It just catches the outside of your thumb when racking. I tried higher rings but the thumb drags down the side of the bump worse. At least with the shorter rings, the side of my thumb is slightly above the zoom lever bump.
Does anyone know how to relocate this zoom dial bump to the side opposite the bolt lever?

Adjust your scope's power ring after loading and again prior to extraction/ejection.
You can also take the screw out, cut the bump down, then the screw, and reinstall.
The screw engages a cam system inside the body.
 
That’s why most people buy Leupolds. The older discontinued EFR models are the best. Go to rimfire forum in the states, lots of problem solvers there
 
"Depending if you have the straight duplex reticle, can you not just rotate the scope 90 degrees?"

It's a BDC recticle.
 
You can push the rear end of the bolt with your thumb.

Then flip the handle down to lock the bolt, with your fore and middle fingers.

That’s what I do. Not because of scope interference but I prefer the smooth feel of the straight push from behind, rather than the offset push with the handle.

That's what I did today...I may get used to it. Love the rifle...my kids prefer my Ruger American Rimfire with the buttery bolt action with lots of clearance. Guess that leaves the sweet CZ for me.
