I'm trying to model this little section of this scope, mainly the slanted hole that the bolt sits into. I've tried to boolean it and that just makes a mess of everything. Is a boolean the best option and I'm just not doing it right or is there a cleaner way of modeling this?

  • What sort of mess? please post screenshots. I tried a quick Cube mesh scaled and rotated to 45 degrees and then used the Boolean modifier with a Cylinder and it created OK geometry. I got even better results by adding a SubDiv Modifier set to Simple to the Cube first. – rob Mar 06 '19 at 09:45
  • Sorry this is what I mean by a mess: https://imgur.com/QqkB4Vn i'm not sure if attempting to clean that up is a good workflow or if i'm doing the boolean process correctly or not. – Liam Fishman Mar 06 '19 at 23:57

You could do it with a Boolean modifier, please tell me if you don't understand one of the steps:
