The angled ejectors didn't come about till Savage started using the chassis system with the AI magazines. For some reason those magazines tended to jam with the 6.5 Creedmoor more than any other caliber. At first the angled ejectors only came on the Creedmoors in a chassis, but after that they put them in all Creedmoors no matter what the stock or feeding system. If you are using a factory magazine the angled ejector offers no advantage.
