Sounds like your extractor/ejector is needing to be replaced. Savages are well known to have ejection issues. I always order 2 or more ejector kits when I order them. I go with the ones from SSS or Tactical Works as they are made a bit better then the basic Savage kit. They are out of stock often, so keep an eye out and order as soon as you see them available.
