I have more than a dozen MKII's or hawkeyes up to 375 ruger and haven't ever seen an issue. The design uses a mauser type extractor and a fixed ejector. Unless there is something I don't know its about impossible for one not to eject if worked forcibly.

Now if you ease the bolt back, it will just hand the case to the shooter, a nice feature at the bench. But when worked the way one tends to do after shooting at an animal it should heave the case quite a way. In fact I tend to loose many of the cases when hunting because my reaction is to work the bolt pretty quickly as soon as the shot is away.


The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. Under this Republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them. Coolidge
