CZ 527 replacement bolt handles?

[melensdad]

The little CZ 527 is known for having a short bolt handle that doesn't clear many scopes. Anyone try either of these?

I'm going to be picking up my new CZ 527 (currently chambered in 7.62x39) and am wondering about swapping out the bolt handle. Both claim to have bolt handles that allow the use of modern scopes mounted low.

Great information, great photo comparison. Thank you.

May I ask, what scope do you have mounted on your 527 and did you swap out the handle so that you'd be able to utilize the scope? Do you have any photos of the clearance of the scope objective with the new bolt handle that you can post?

I bought my 527 to convert to a Grendel as a modest range hog rifle. My plan is to mount a Millett 1-4x scope.
