Hello all, I picked up a Redfield Revenge 2x7x34 rifle scope this afternoon for my Ruger 77/357, but unfortunately my bolt handle comes into contact with this particular scope. So I'm curious as to what some you are running, and what kind of clearance are you getting with your bolt handles? I'm looking for a scope in the 1x4 to 2x7 power range, with a 20, 24, or 28MM bell. Thanks in advance guys.

I have a vortex 2-7x32 on my 77/357 in the factory supplied rings and barely have clearance for the bolt handle. I have heard that Ruger will exchange rings for different heights for free.

I run leupy vx1 2-7x33 on mine. Can still manipulate bolt but not a lot of room.

I bit the bullet today and purchased a  Leopold VX1  (1X4X20) Pig Plex rifle scope. Fits my 77/357 like a dream.
Can't wait to sight her in this weekend.

Same set-up on mine. It is a very close fit. Glass is great for the price though!

On a totally unrelated topic regarding the 77/357. Can you shoot .38 special out of it as well?
