How olds the rifle mate? if might just be a bit of brass stuck behind the ejector stopping it from working right. :thumbsup:


Absolutely brand new. Smith replaced the ejector and boom, works perfectly.


:thumbsup:

What was the problem with the ejector?

No idea. Gunsmith said it looked fine but was just not working at all. Put a new one in and its working again.

When I bought my T3x 22-250 it wouldn't extract cases from the first shot.
I found there to be the smallest piece of metal filingings behind the extractor claw and was stopping it from gripping the case properly.
Blasted it with some brake cleaner and it was all good, hasn't missed a beat since.

Seems like there is a bit of a QC issue with Tikka.
