I own two that were perfect out of the box, both were short action .308. And two that were not so good, one was a long action and the other a magnum action. For those two, I had a skilled machinist build me a new extractor claw with minimum clearance between the rim of the case and the claw. Fixed the problem permanently and cheaply. Best $50 I ever spent on a rifle. Both my M85 Bavarian 7x64 and my M85 Kodiak .375 H&H eject straight sideways now. And I really like both rifles. I wouldn't avoid buying another now that I know how to improve on their one flaw.
