Picked this up a gun show a few months back. It's a pretty neat setup I had not seen one like this before.

Maybe the angles are not real clear in the photos, but how does this eject an empty?

After firing a cartridge, you operate that lever-thingy.

Keith:

I think what Brent was asking was whether the scope is mounted over the bore axis, in which case it might interfere with ejection, or whether it's offset to the left, in which case there would be no interference. Similar problems exist with scoping the Winchester Model 94 prior to the angle-eject modification. My dad had one of the Model 94s without the modification and his side mount scope was positioned directly above the mount, not over the bore axis. Worked fine, but took some getting used to if you were accustomed to a traditional scope mount and cheeking the gun hard.

Rem

Could be on of those super rare 92s with bottom eject...

Its not a Model 54 or a Model 70 or a High Wall or a Low Wall, it's a level thingy moo-chine gun. Kind of a waste of a nice scope and mount.
Ok, after that, the mount I believe is offset to the left so not directly above the ejection port. Brass may even bounce off the scope as they come up and out.
IMO

It sits off to the side a good bit. I have had no problems with ejection.

Exactly. That's pretty typical for scope mounts used on top eject lever guns. I certainly remember what prompted the modification of the Model 94 to angle eject. My prior reply was a facetious response to a silly question.

Nice little .25-20 by the way. I think it would be even nicer without the scope and side mount, but that's just my opinion.

I figured it had to be, but the photos do a good job of making it easy to believe the scope is directly over the ejection port.

I put a Williams version of that on a friends post-64 M94, surprisingly accurate, bit less than a 2" gun. He couldn't get used to it though so he went back to iron sights and the mount sits on a shelf.
