This is a very common issue with Sako 85's especially with the 30-06 length actions, I have had several in every action length and many suffered from this issue, I like My scopes mounted low and I'm sure that had some bearing on My problems with Sako 85's but My thoughts were that a rifle in this price range should function properly, I don't think that's asking for a lot here...............Notice how high the Sako Opti-lock mounting systems tend to be, I think European hunters mostly use scopes with huge objectives (night hunting) and these high ejecting rifles are not an issue in their case, just My 2 cents here it's only a guess...........Good luck................Hb
