Sako 75 experts! Help needed (update!!)

I had the same issue with my vx5hd 3-15 by 44. They have huge turrets didn't have the issue with a VX 3. I also bought the stiffer extractor spring. And move the scope forward a bit and I have zero issues now. Leopold has a huge eye relief
 
I tried a vx3 2.5-8x32 so you don’t get any smaller a scope than that. The casing is hitting dead Center of the tube. I have a new extractor, spring, and plunger on route. On confident this will solve the issue.

Take it to a gunsmith then. There are things that can be done to alter how it ejects.

I know the 85s changed the degree of ejection on their ports.
I know people ##### about the 85s being poor ejectors, I've never had an issue.
they are designed to be actioned with a bit of speed and attitude.

Really?? ..... A guy buys a new Sako and he either has to take it straight to a gunsmith or work the bolt with "speed and attitude" in order to get it to eject properly?
Seems to me one could buy a hassle free Tikka for less.
 
Got the new spring, ejector claw and plunger in the mail from berretta today and got it all swapped out. It now functions perfectly! It doesn’t matter if it’s loaded rounds, empty cases, fast or slow the cases fly way clear of the rifle without touching the scope or rifle. It functions exactly all it should. Thank you to the member who I bought the rifle from for being a stand up guy and following through and making sure I was happy with the rifle. Appreciate all the advice off here as well!

That's good news. Glad to hear you didn't just give up, condemn the brand and flog it to some other member. And props to who you bought it from as well!
