Thread: Need some scope measurement info

I am trying to set up my rifle with the scope mounted as low as I can get it .
Most of my scopes have the problem of the eye piece being to large in diameter and they cause the bolt to foul on the scope when mounted as low as I want .
I have just tried an old Leupold 6 power scope that I had in the cupboard and it is a perfect fit .
The outer diameter of the scope eye piece is 39.45 mm .
My question is does anyone know or can someone measure for me what the outer diameter of a modern Leupold scope is ( 2.5 - 8 , 3 - 9 and 3.5 - 10 )
Also does anyone have a Swaro Z3 3 - 9
I have a feeling that the modern scopes may be a bit bigger and will not fit for what I want .
