Will brass ejecting into scope cause problems?

[jeebo]

Hi,

When ejecting my brass it's close to ejecting into the scope and hits some times.

If if work the bolt slower/smoother it gets thrown own just shy of hitting the scope, if I work the bolt back a little faster though like sometimes happens which makes the brass come out faster, it clips the scope and bounces off.

Doesn't really bother me as long as it's not going to cause long term problems. The brass is fine after, not dented. Over time I guess it will wear a little paint off the scope but that's not the end of the world.

If I'm not worried about that, any other reason to look at new scope mounts or whatever to stop this happening?

Other than a little scratched paint, I'd say no.

Shame to knowingly rough up your scope though?

Be kind to you scope.

I ended up sticking a little tile of black closed cell foam to the problem point.

On the occasions the brass his now it just silently and gently bounces off, so problem solved
