Does anyone know where I might be able to get my hands on one of the extended springs for use with Sako style extractors ? The brownells part # is 300-000-009. Discontinued by manufacturer. I am having an ejection issue with my Sako 85, and this may be the answer. Apparently when you have a stiffer extractor spring, it holds the case harder against the bolt face, until the ejector comes into play, and this may or may not eliminate a fail to eject when you have a scope mounted lower than the Sako optiloks will allow.

Thanks
 
From my own experience with long action Sako 85 and 75 you are wasting your time and money. I've tried different springs and didn't help. Extractor is positioned at wrong angle to eject properly with low mounting scope rings. On my Sako Finlight I made ejector with light offset to the side, filled up existing grove in bolt face and recut another slot beside it. I thing that 3 lag system is strong enough to take this modification and still be safe but this is my own opinion I don't recommend to do this modifications to anybody. There might be another way that I didn't try because I didn't have spare extractor to play with. If grabbing part of extractor was grind slightly so it will grab case in higher position this should change ejection angle but it may not be enough area to pool case from chamber.

I am looking to lose a little less than 1\8 of an inch in the height that the case comes out of the port. I was hoping a stiffer spring might accomplish this, but apparently not. The rifle ejects acceptably as it is right now, but I have to turn the scope 90 degrees. If I could get the case to come out even just a hair lower, it would not hit the scope turret. I could also go with a slightly higher ring, but I'm trying to bring the scope down as much as possible. Thanks for the input.
