I would also try Keith's idea. I can't help but to think the seller knew of the problem and didn't disclose it.
This is a case for asking lots of questions before bidding. However, when you first posted the auction I didn't notice and most people wouldn't either, but every picture with the scope shows the bolt open. There are no pictures of the bolt closed with the scope.
BTW, very nice rifle and a great buy. The good thing is the problem can be easily rectified
