Gramps2,, keep us posted on how you get on with Beretta. Im rather interested in this as Im (maybe)looking at getting an 85 in 270 or maybe wsm/ finnlight shortly.
Ive also owned a 75 model 270wsm and 2 other 85 model 7mm08,s (besides my current 7mm08)which performed perfectly. However, I had an older sako hunter 308 which was the model before the 75. It had the 2 bolt lugs.. this rifle had ejection issues where the fired case would hit the scope and fall back into the action.It was sent back to the sako agent and fixed.
All the above rifles had 36mm objective lenses mounted in old style medium height mounts which are significantley lower than the so called "low" optilok mounts supplied with new 85,s.
