I had one in the past. I mounted a 4.5x14x40mm LR 30mm with M1 dials.

After taking it to the range and firing it I discovered the following.

The angle path that the gun ejects the brass, coincides with the windage turret which results with the brass getting kicked right back in the gun perfectly!

Now that sucked!
So I have to be careful with the size of turrets

BTW I just tried a 4.5x14x40mm with the CDS turrets. Same deal. Pending on the position of scope it will or will not eject. Cases (fired) fall back in. If scope is placed very forward then it will.....but rear ring hits rear ocular!
