My silver scope is riddled with marks which I am not happy with so I'm just in the process of proving the issue with Beretta in the hope of getting a new scope out of them and I will share what I know shortly.
The company already knows what the problem is and it started on the long action rifles shortly after they bought Sako a few years ago, tinkered with the design of the bolt/ejector, and screwed it up to the point where many will only eject the casing straight up into the scope. Telling people like they are to change scopes and/or move their scope to a different position, rather than to admit the problem and go back to the previous well working design is preposterous to say the least! Shame on them, as nobody should have to put up with a poorly designed firearm like that, especially one that costs what the Sako does. I'm surprised a few people with the known problem haven't put their heads together and started a class action lawsuit against the company.
