Brass hitting turret - something to worry about?

[coloradoan]

I bought a couple of SWFA scopes and am putting them on a couple of tikkas - in this case a 6.5 CM and a 223. In every case, ejecting brass hits the turret more often than not with Sportsmatch-height rings. It happened occasionally even with a pretty high picatinny rail. In no instance did the ejecting brass bounce back into the chamber.

This is probably a stupid question. Is this something to worry about? I’m assuming it’s not hurting the scope of course. But at this rate I think I’d need to go very high to avoid this happening, which is something I want to avoid. I also want to avoid chopping up the scope for now.

I haven’t had this be a problem at all with a Tikka with UM low rings and a SWFA 6x gen2.

Edit - it won’t hurt a good scope even if a piece of brass does hit it. It’s not a Leupold.

Rack aggressively and do not worry about it.
