I have a Savage BSEV. I've had it for over a year, and never had an issue with it. Yesterday, I was at the range, and all of a sudden, it would not extract shells. I thought it might be gummed up, as it was a fair bit cooler than it has been. When I went to take the bolt apart, I noticed that the right-had (black) extractor has slipped out of the notch in the clip and moved back. I just thought I'd share this in case someone else has the same issue. It can be fixed with only a small screwdriver at the range.
Interesting issue with Savage 22

Quite a lot of online talk regarding stuck cases in Savage boltguns. Many had extractors and ejectors replaced. Many problems were solved after break in or light chamber polishing. Mine before a polish would fail to extract..the extractor would split the rim and the round still wouldn't eject. Not sure its a similar problem..maybe the extractor replacements were performed because of what you are seeing?
That's what I've been trying to tell my wife. A 45 LC lever would be perfect.
