Mdl 10 weak ejection

[LoneWolf]

So I think the issue is I can run the bolt faster than it can eject and the bolt travels further back than is required for ejection and a little further than required to pick up the next round off the mag. So in reality I'm faster at cycling the bolt than the bolt is at ejecting the brass.

You may like a control-feed receiver better than the Savage push-feed type.

Hopefully we can someone will make something that is more consistent for those of us who require more from these rifles.

I hated my controlled round feed FN-SPR receiver, but I did like the huge claw extractor that it had. I found myself needing to single feed several times, and the controlled round feed didn't really care for that idea too much. Yes, it worked, but it took extra time to get the bolt locked down. I think that every rifle made has some sort of flaws in the design.

Maybe a .223 length front baffle trimmed down could limit the rearward travel, but that wouldn't slow you down any. At least you could eliminate one more little quirk.

Running a Shilen Action. There are no baffles! I would also need a custom length bolt head to do that. I just have to work the action the way it likes to be worked and then upgrade to a higher model better suited for my competition and shooting style. I have out grow Savage style parts in that department. They shoot and will function, but when it comes to smooth cycling and ejecting brass there is a lot to be wished for from my stand point.

That is their limitation and why you do not see many Savages in the truly competitive precision bolt rifle arena.

DOH......I temporarily misplaced that knowledge.

UPDATE

Installed new extractor/spring and ejector/spring (figured after 4k rounds a little tune up in the bolt head couldn't hurt) along with the .140 extractor ball from drybean (thank you again sir!) last night and this Savage tosses em like a Tikka now! NEVER has been this good.

That's good news. I'm still working on getting mine right, but it's better for right now. Did you use all OEM replacement parts?

Yes I did, except for the .140 ball of course. For the $ it was worth it.
