I mounted a set of 2-piece bases and a set of see thru mounts on my 98 Mauser w/ a bent bolt. The trouble i'm having is that when you open the bolt, the bolt knob hits on the bottom of the scope. Any ides anyone. Thanks

Go with a scout setup.
You only get limited magnification and you'll get a more narrow field of view, but on the other hand, you can mount the scope nice and low, and not worry about eye relief or bolt clearance.
Your solution leads to no cheek weld and your head positioned above the buttstock. You need to cut the existing bolt handle off and weld a properly designed new handle on.
This is a straight bolt handle
This is a bolt handle with a radius bend
This is the proper method for using a mounted scope
The bottom example is from an FN or Interarms Mauser bolt.
Best.

Sure - quit now, unless you enjoy constant re-zeroing.
See-thru's are universally recognized as KRAP.
