Ruger 77 failure to extract

[Kilo Charlie]

I had a failure to eject with my year-old Hawkeye a couple days back. It just stopped ejecting, and it appeared to me that the ejector was not rising high enough in its slot to contact the cartridge rim.
I put a drop of oil on the ejector and worked it a couple of times, and presto! Restored to functionality! I just wondered if anyone else had had that happen before; it's my first CRF rifle so I didn't know that I should pay particular attention to the ejector. I'm normally quite conscientious about keeping rifles clean and lubed.

It sounds like you are describing a failure to eject. A failure to extract would have left the case in the chamber.

Likely dirt or brass in behind the spring, but vary rare. My 77s and new hawkeye work flawless

Me too, never had a Ruger 77 let me down.

Yup, I noticed that after I posted it.
