Savage 116 in .250 Savage extractor/ejector problems

[Shuz]

I have been having problems again with my .250 Savage 116 ejecting fired cases.
Some extract and eject just fine while most come out part way and fall off the extractor set up. I replaced the extractor once before for the same problem, so I guess I gotta order another one. Is the extractor a weak point on these Savages?

Have you checked your ejector? You might have a weak spring.

What year is your Savage?

What year is your Savage?

I don't know the exact year, but I bought it new 8 to maybe 10 years ago.
Would the serial number help?
Byy the way, this rifle is a short action so prolly a model 16 not 116!

I just recently had an ejector spring that went bad and cases would drop as I cycled the bolt back. I had to reach in and pull the case out. Found that the spring had compressed and replacing it fixed the issue. You might want to pull the ejector and check the spring. Midway does have ejector springs and if needed, ejector pins.

I would have suggested the same. Also replace the extractor ball with the larger one.

The cases drop off right after extracted. Would a weak ejector spring be the cause of that?
