I had 2 Black Bears - 308 was fine , 9.3x 63 did the same as this rifle. This is a U-tube clip that a mate of mine did recently.

That's pretty much the exact same ejection angle mine has though I did just use live and empty cases to test without firing. Mine dented the brass, though not so badly. Perhaps if I had fired it, the warm brass would have been more malleable and would have dented similarly.

Gary, I posted about the replacing the extractor spring, and was curious to see if it did work. That's pretty much the only way to possibly fix it as I can't imagine there's much tweaking to be had with the ejector.

You asked about the blocks and they are simply wooden blocks I made in 1/4" height increments with a half moon cut out on top to hold the scope with holes drilled underneath so I can zip tie the scope to the top. They are flat on bottom. With a flat top action, like the Sako I can put the rifle in the vise, and set the rig on top. Not sure about height above bore centerline, as I measure from top of action to bottom of scope. I have them as tall as a 1.5 inches and that is more than the optilock ring mounts as the largest (30mm) of those measure only 29mm to the center of the scope above the top of the receiver according to this:

BTW Gary, you've got a good one. Don't ever sell it!
