The dakota had ejection issues with the case hitting as being ejected sticking in the loading slot. With a scope you had to turn the rifle on its side for the shell to fall out. (I believe some one here mentioned the same, in a book he wrote)
He said "Some" maybe just being kind, I believe they all had that issue, IMHO. I shot 3 different #10's one day ranging from a 30cal up to an Africa caliber, can't remember which, kicked like a mule, and you had to turn all of them on there side for the case to fall out of the gun. That was a long time ago shortly after Don introduced them so they may have been improved in the years since. Don was there at the time and I don't think he was pleased but I don't know if they ever fixed the problem.
