Hey jw, just wondering how it is going with your gun? I bought the same Sako Finnbear in 30-06 and at first had trouble ejecting cartridges until I found a sweet spot by sliding my scope back and forth. I have had a couple of marks on the rear of the receiver where empties have hit also, however, everything seems to be ejecting great now after playing with the scope positioning. Also, I'd like to report, at the range I had some great 3 shot groups with this gun and 5 shot groups that measured ~1.09" with Federal Fusion 165 grain. A little more open than the "5 shot guarantee" but I am not the best shooter out there, just a hunter, and I am sure many could shoot tighter groups from this gun than I.
