Modify custom action ?

Or push the scope forward 1/16th and sand that off the buttpad, you will have a TON more clearance.

Are those Valdada rings? Good dremel skills sir.

Badger Ordinance.

Looks like a nice build you got there. Those Schmidt's sure have a short mounting surface. Once I had a guy who was willing to trade me a really nice new Schmidt for a NF 4-16x50 atacr that I was trying to sell. It would have been a better scope for the 338 Lapua improved that I was building but the available spacing was too short for my Defiance GA Hunter action.

S&B PMII 5-20x50 Ultra Short. VERY limited mounting real estate. I had to swap from Seekins rings to the Badger Ordinance rings to mount it.
This was on a Lone Peak Fuzion Ti SA that has an additional slot front and rear for mounting.

When I moved the scope to a new build and it is on a Defiance AnTi X, that action has one less slot front and rear available, and the Seekins were just a bit too wide to fit the mounting area available on the S&B. So I had to switch to the Badger Ordinance rings.

Looks like the real issue is too long of a LOP. But, just remove the first lug with any method you choose.

LOP is 13.5". Even though I prefer a slightly shorter LOP, I think it would devalue a really nice rifle.

Only if you are planning on selling it and then maybe. And, what is the point of a custom rifle if not built for YOU.

Would you like to borrow my 6" angle grinder with the coarse wheel?

If you are worried about the resale value, then leave it as-is.

A 1/4"-1/2" would probably make enough of a difference and you could have a spacer made for resale purposes. That might even make it worth more...adjustable LOP.
I was curious about 1 thing though....who cut the bolt handle notch in the stock?
