No one has answered this,
sum of the long action, rifles the empty brass can hit the scope, and fall back into the action, This only seams to be a problem when you are soft/ slow pulling the action back.
I have two long action sako 85's and had a 85 finlight 260, not a problem on the short action, I have encounted it a couple times, only at the range when trying to slowly retract action, to stop brass landing on the ground.
I have close to a thousand rounds threw both my sako 85 long actions, 2506, 3006 and have never had a problem in the field, or in any shooting position other that sitting at a bench,
They a good rifle, and hold there value well,
