Savage ejector prob.
« on: February 01, 2005, 02:03:21 PM »
Hey all... I have a Savage Stryker (516, happens to be in 22-250) Shoots way better than I may ever be able to, Extracts fine, but the ejection is "wimpy" at best. Can't tell if the extractor is letting go too early in the stroke , or if the ejection plunger is just that poor. Going slow it seems like all is well as it tilts the case right out into the hand albeit gently... Ejection plunger spring??? Thanks ...  Marty

I assume the striker is built on the order of the 116 and not the 110.  The 116 uses an ejector in the bolt face which protrudes and forces the case out of the extractor hook and out the chamber.  This is the same ejector type used by the Remington 700.  It depends on the extractor claw holding onto the case.. So I'd bet the extractor spring is weak or the claw is not getting a good bite of the extractor groove.  Since the ejector force is always trying to work in this system the case mouth begins moving to the right as soons as it can.  Remove and clean the extractor and be sure the ejector is not binding or sticking..

Your description is right on so it must be a 116. Placing an expended round in the bolt face I would say that the spring is adequate, but "wimpy" ... the extractor seems to have a good grip on the case. Since all my other bolt guns are Mauser/Ruger/Winchester Style The tendancy is to operate the bolt in a more robust manner on the open stroke to "throw" the brass. When the savage bolt is operated like I want to "snatch"  the brass from the action by hand it is better but I may prefer a stouter spring ... is this a difficult operation (I have only disassembled "mauser" type bolts) ... Thanks for the response      Marty

It's not especially difficult but you only need to take out the ejector and spring and the extractor and its spring and plunger.  I'll put a parts blow up link on the bottom of this reply.  Not for the striker but for a 116 action..  Hope it helps.
