Abstract: A combined cartridge deflector and scope mount for attachment to a lever action top ejection rifle. The cartridge deflecting component, by means of three deflection elements, changes the trajectory of both the ejected whole cartridges, and the empty shell casings, from vertical and to the rear of the rifle to a trajectory of slightly above horizontal and to the right of the rifle, as seen from the shooter's position. The scope mount component of the invention allows a riflescope to be mounted directly above the ejection port of the receiver, the conventional and most desirable position. The invention, in many cases can be attached to the rifle using existing screw holes without the need for a gunsmith.
