My friends son has one of these with the Savage recommended setup and the only way it will eject empties is to lay it over towards it's right side and pull the empty clear of the barrel and the give a sharp pull on the bolt, the full hard won't work on this gun , it just leaves it laying in the gun, but that said this is a true 200yard deer gun. He shot 2 shots with Rem Acutip at 200yds and they were only a inch apart. and 10 inches low sighted in at 100yds, but the wind will still get them since they were 12inches right of aim point, so adjust accordingly.
