Bolt handle hitting ocular bell.
I have a savage 110 that I'm changing mounts and rings on. Well low weaver rings, and now lower mounts and my ocular bell gets kissed by my bolt handle. Scope is a bushnell sportview 4x32. I want the scope lower for a better cheek weld.
So my question, is it an issue that the handle bumps the ocular bell? It needs maybe .010 more clearance, so it ain't much. It has clearance unless the handle is held up when cycling. I thought about relieving the handle a little, but it doesn't bother me that it rubs a little, if it won't hurt the scope. Will it eventually wear through the bell?
Thanks

Post Script,
I didn't think to clarify, the handle is not hitting the bell on opening, but rather rubbing against it during it's rearward travel, and only if I hold the bolt up during cycling.
