I had this ejection issue with my sako a7 roughtech (7RM) with 3-18 vx6hd, sent it to beretta who refused to accept there is a major flaw with there rifles/ejector positions (although Robbie tiffen told me this also) and there resolution was putting it on stilts where it was ridiculously high and laughable, bottom line was they told me you can’t mount the leupold vx-5/6HD scopes on the a7 or 85, wasn’t surprised at the pathetic outcome, it’s basically the size of the turret being the issue aswell, oh and was told there action design was around well before the new leupold so it’s leupold fault... bottom line be very aware of the scope you want to mount, the height of rings before investing thousands, the a7 and 85 possibly 75 also have the design flaw, hope this helps someone out.
