Cycle fast and usually it goes up. Sometimes hit the scope (not the turret. My scope is a VX-6 hunting scope) and end up inside the action. Sometimes is goes out.

I changed the extractor (Tubbs and McMillan extractors were tested), changed the extractor spring, and nothing did really corrected the problem.

Only way would be a longer claw on the extractor or to make the extractor cut on the bolt face a little deeper.

This, for me, is an obviously project flaw by Sako. They loose a customer with it.

Speed of cycling can make angle vary on most rifles with a standing ejector in my experience. I've seen this on Kimbers and M70's also. I've had Kimbers kiss scope turrets if you rip bolt back forcefully. One advantage of a plunger ejector is the force and performance is constant regardless of how bolt is operated.
