    Interesting, I don't notice rounds hitting my scope on my 85 finnlight 7mmRm but can see where you're coming from. If you don't cycle it quick it'll drop the brass in the action though.

    Yeah I don't even view the dropping brass as an issue either.
    It's a hunting rifle not a steel gun. Bang, quick reload in case it requires follow up, job done.

    Thats probably due to the different bolt face configuration Cam, the 85 works more like a controlled feed with that cutout on the bolt face.
