Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles HELP? Tikka T3- cycling live rounds through mag- should they eject?

Some loctite had seeped in when mounting the scope and it locked the ejector slightly open. I soaked it in CLP, removed the slight deposit and it now works. That said, the spring on the ejector is pretty weak and even some debris might have had the same effect.

I will say that it now works perfect and the rifle shoots accurately- 0.54" at 100 yards with Federal Fusion 150 gr. ammo. The "Superformance GMX" ammo on the other hand is still resulting in very tight bold locking and 1.67" groups at 100 yards with .70" higher patterns.

Thanks guys.

Don't worry, have had mine 4 years now, and it has never been an issue.
