I need some help removing a fired cartridge case. Does anyone have a good idea about removing this. I can close the bolt ( with some effort) on the case but it won't eject it.

Thanks

Push it out with a cleaning rod inserted through the muzzle.

Got it! It wasn't easy at all and ended up ruining my cleaning rod but it is out. My son put a tracer round in and it stuck. All is well now. Thanks.

You might want to give the chamber a good cleaning with a over size brush. A lot of times folks clean the bores and neglect the chambers as they are over size of the bore and a bore brush or patch never touches them. Jim

Thanks for the advice. The chamber looks like it could use some extra cleaning. My dad bought this rifle and gave it to my son a few years back. It has seen much action lately. The rifle has seen it share of deer and coyote hunting in its time though. I've seen my dad cut down a running coyote at 400 yds with it more than once.
