Yes, taking the rifle in to local gunshop and trying to find a scope that doesn't interfere
with the bolt handle.
Indeed so. Congratulations on a wonderful find. They are some of the few fullstock rifles which does not struggle with accuracy, along with the old Mannlichers. The rifle makers of yesteryear certainly knew how to get the basics right.
Given that you have the post 1948 model after serial number 23000 with the integral dovetails, I would keep a neat little Schmitt und Bender 4x32 or a Zeiss Diatal 6x36 in some Talley QD mounts handy and experience the best of both worlds with your rifle
with the bolt handle.
