You mention " weak ejection", is it discharging the brass from the gun or is it dropping it back into the loading port? If so, that is a different problem altogether and a result of a poorly done conversion

OP, The pic of the bastardized SAKO extractor cut in the bolt nose was improperly machined.
The SAKO extractor pivot should be a counter bore NOT a through hole to witness the firing pin.
With the improper install you will be hard pressed to acquire proper ejection w/ a spring & ejector change.

Wouldn't that also be a potential safety issue? Any gas leakage normally is directed into the left side action vent hole. There is no action vent hole on the right, so gas could be directed out through the right side lug raceway from this new hole in the bolt.
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

All noted. I have a spring on the way and will see if that helps. If not am I at a new bolt?

OP, No,you aren't at a total lose...yet.
A.003"-.004" press fit pin into the through hole for the bastardized SAKO extractor job.
Have a competent 'smith machine the bolt nose for a pinned mini or M16 style extractor.
The 3 rings of steel feature by design is null & void unless you install a bolt w/ the OEM Remington style extractor.

Not to discount anyone else’s experience or knowledge, Tikka uses a through hole, right to the pin. Your ejection issue is likely related to ejector spring pressure and forward positioning of the extractor.

How do they vent the gases from that side of the action in the event of leakage into the bolt? The exposed locking lug raceway otherwise points back towards the shooter's face/head.

Your ejection issue is likely related to ejector spring pressure and forward positioning of the extractor. You think it’s set to far forward? It’s hard to say what it’s doing without having it in hand, but the farther forward the extractor is the less angular work the ejector can do on the case head. I’d just try a new spring and see, but you can also alter the notch on the ejector to get a little more throw out of it.

There’s a vent hole about 90 degrees from the extractor. On a Tikka the extractor rotates slightly past the lug abutment.

I tried to illustrate the relationship between the extractor location and the amount of ejector travel in the original post to see if I could get this answered. Thanks for the tip on modifying the plunger, I hadn't considered that. My hope was that if the extractor was too far forward there might be a different part(extractor) available that was shorter.

I installed a new spring and modified the ejector to give a little more travel and it seems to have helped. The brass is now being thrown fairly well as opposed to just barely falling out and dropping directly below the rifle. It still has trouble ejecting a loaded round but I understand that is normal? Wouldn't mind the extractor living a little closer to the bolt face but I likely live with it as is.
