Minor disaster averted - did I mention this is my first Savage?

Pulled the bolt when I got home this evening to see if there was anything under the extractor. There wasn't, but I discovered that the extractor comes out very easily! The extractor itself flew into an empty bucket on the floor and the ball landed on my desk, where I found it after a few minutes of shining a flashlight around. Reassembled inside a gallon ziplock. Whew.

Ejection - I pulled an empty out of my ammo box, chambered it, and it failed to eject. Now it does it more often than not, and it seems to not matter what speed I pull the bolt back. It's just weird. Good thing this isn't a dangerous game rifle!

I never shoot with any in the mag - F-TR is a single load game and I'm going to be getting a benchrest follower next time I make a Midway order. Which will probably be tomorrow, since I guess I'd better get a sizing die.
