Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Beretta's response to my ejection issue with Sako 85 long action

UAE you really don't know what you're talking about. This is not just one person having a problem with a Sako. So far you got the good ones. Keep buying 85M Sakos and you'll get a few that eject the brass into the bottom of your scope. No doubt about it. The extractor/ejector design is flawed. When the extractor hooks the cartridge case rim it does so with the whole surface of the extractor hook. But when the ejector hits the bottom of the cartridge case head, the case rotates upward and the extractor hook then is in contact with the case rim only with the bottom of the hook. The extractor does not rotate with the cartridge case when the ejector forces the case to point upward. With the extractor hook contacting the case rim with only the lower edge point there are bound to be problems. Without sufficient spring pressure to force this lower point of the extractor hook into the surface of the case rim and keep it there the case will eject upward more so than outward. That is what causes the cartridge cases to hit the scope tube. So far in your posts you're only running your big mouth about "rednecks" and "southerners" that are either stupid, ignorant or both along with bathing in your all perfect knowledge that Sakos always work. Fact is you have pretty much cornered the market on stupid and ignorant on this thread. Do yourself a favor and start your own thread talking about something you actually understand. Good luck with your Sakos but know the 85 has a REAL and not imagined problem. And have a truly blessed day.
