This rifle has never ejected a case properly in its 8 year life, I have tried replacing the same with new Savage parts a few times over the years and no improvement. I just installed the SSS enhanced ejector and extractor kit on my 223 10 FP, man it throws cases out of the chamber with authority. Just a notice to all, if you have weak or non existent extraction and ejection go ahead and get this kit first. Unbelievable fix.
