I used to manage the SAKO brand years ago, before the 85 was introduced. I hear that there are some questions about the ejection of the cases, which sometimes hit the scope knobs and fall back into the action. Upon speaking with Beretta gunsmiths and customer service, I gleaned that there are two things that can absolutely prevent this from happening: 1) operating the bolt without jerky motions and 2) using the recommended ring height vis à vis the max scope diameter. The table below is the official one that SAKO uses, and I thought it may be useful for current or potential SAKO shooters here on AH.
