HEY Virgil .... its FIXED!!!
Well Va & jim motivated me to get off my dead arse and I worked on my XXII. I used the file and removed 0.010" from part of the extractor as described over on RFC under one of the Annie threads. Test fired 100 rounds of Std Vel CCI through it on Saturday. Worked like a champ. Was ejecting as well as either of my two Marlin bolt rifles. Mucho joy in Roysville (or is it Royshaven?).
So to the OP, the fix is easy. But one does question if this should be needed on a rimfire costing between $750 & $850.
Edited to add .... I think if my Marlin ignites a 17HMR bug insid me, I could see a second so chambered XXII living at my house.

George, That's GREAT!!!
Mine "dribbles" emptys every once in a while.
If you come down this summer, BRING YOUR FILE !!!
Good to hear you fixed the problem!
The 17 HMR is a joy to shoot furry/feathered VARMITS with! (GRIN!)
You can't go wrong!

Glad to hear you got your rifle straightened out George, a rifle that works like it's supposed to is a joy to own but one that don't function right is a pain in the azz..........enjoy.......Hillbilly.

George, You know the line: Breathe in, breathe out, move on....  Maybe you should publicize this over on the hunting rifles section and the XXII will take Kimber's place as the rifle to bash...
