Hey, all I asked was for similar experiences from other SAKO owners and Geedub has a LOT of credibility with me. I didn't mean for his to turn into another pissing match
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

Hey, all I asked was for similar experiences from other SAKO owners and Geedub has a LOT of credibility with me. I didn't mean for his to turn into another pissing match Jorge, I appreciate that. And no disrespect intended. Sako's were my first luv when it came to collecting rifles, and as expressed, I've had excellent luck. Knowing you have a sense of humor, I could not resist gigging you just a bit. Years ago when I first started posting here, being a newbie, I had not established my bona fides. One has probably heard the old bromide, "pictures or it didn't happen". Consequently I tend to include pictures in many of my posts and threads. Undoubtedly, I prolly over-do it quite often. I try not to be overly redundant in the pix I post, but perhaps you've also heard the saying, "How is it I can remember every word from a song from 1967, but I can't remember why I walked into the kitchen"? But what the hey, it's entertainment! Best, GWB

"G": I'm pretty sure the spring is just a little tired. As I mentioned on my first post, the other SAKO I had in the same caliber did not have this issue. This one ejects them "ok" it just doesn't launch them into lower orbit like my Weatherby do. I am VERY happy with the rifle. J

J Well, I'm sure not in the same Sako owner class as G, but I do have an 85 6.5x55 I think a lot of...doesn't throw empties into orbit either, but doesn't drop them back down into the works. It wouldn't be a rifle I'd want to get rid of. Also have a Sako Quad rimfire with all four barrels. A 5mm RemMag barrel would make it perfect.
