[QUOTE="cdre311, post: 1923297, member: 114610"] I have a Browning X-Bolt in .300 Win Mag and a Vortex Viper 6.5x20x44 with intermediate Talley rings. With the dust cap off the rounds would strike the windage knob and bounce out. With the dust cap on, half the time they'd bounce back into the receiver. Called Browning and they said it was a known issue and to raise the scope higher. I ended up mounting the scope on a 20 MOA rail with Warne rings and it seems to work fine now. I think the issue is the lower profile receiver forces the brass to have a 45 degree up and out (~1 to 2 o'clock position) ejection angle. When I first had this issue, I searched forums endlessly and apparently it's an issue with a lot of rifles and mostly Mag or WSM calibers. Thinking next scope will have low profile turrets. Beyond that I love the rifle. [/QUOTE]
