trying to find our the degree of bolt lift to these rifles. for example my Venture is 60 degrees which feels nice and my savage axis is a 70 degree lift which comes close to smacking the scope. any info on this folks?
 
Here are 2 pictures that should help you out

The Ruger M77 has a 90 degree bolt lift like a proper Mauser derivative should.
 
Take out the bolt and count the lugs (or rows of lugs if you have a Weatherby). Divide 180 by the number of lugs and that's the degree of bolt lift.

I like your explanation of that. I'm curious how does the Tikka come up with there 70deg lift number? Any ideas? I'm pretty sure they are a 2 lug bolt
