I bought a new Model 70 featherweight in 6.5X55 about 2005. It carried well and shot pretty good, but it would not eject an empty case to save it's life. It went back to USRA once, with no improvement. I then replaced the extractor with a Williams, with no improvement. I sent it down the road. It was a real disappointment as the rifle was a pretty nice piece.

Good luck with yours


Regards,

Tom
