Good day @ the range

The original release of the 220 had primer strike issue specific to what your experiencing as well as ejection issues clearing thr scope bases. You may want to check with savage also. How was the primer bed depth compared to the spent shells. It could be just a bad primer.

Sorry to get off topic here... But in what way did Savage correct the ejection issue, Milo? Reason I ask is because I've found that if I don't open the bolt hard (real hard), the spent shell seems to get hung up on the scope base and fails to eject. Is it possible that I unknowingly purchased an older version of the 220? I wonder if that's why the recoil pad wasn't soft and squishy...

JB post a picture of you base with the bolt closed keep the scope in the picture as well.... you might need the next higher rings on it....

It doesn't seem to me that the height of the rings will make any difference... since the mounting point of the rings to the base will be the same.

Your front ring is right over the ejection port. Is it at all interfering with the case as it is ejecting? Do you have enough eye relief t move the scope forward any?

Yep... The end of the empty shell hits the bottom of that front ring when I try to eject it. If I eject with force, the shell comes out. If I don't open the folt with force, that scope ring knocks the empty shell right back into the chamber. I may be able to go forward quite a bit with it. Maybe I can tinker with it between now and the extended gun weekend and see if ejection issues go away.

Question... How much do you think it'll throw off my zero by simply moving the scope and rings forward? I can mark the scope housing in relation to the rings so that it still lines up the same, vertically.

It looks like the rings could go forward 2 notches and the scope slide back with little change in eye relief.

It probably will change some, but not lots. You should still be on the paper at 25 yards (probably even 50 yards) so getting back on zero should be easy.

Cool, thanks Sam. I think I'll give that a try and seem if shell ejection improves.

I second this as well, when I get home I'll post a picture of my scope mount and you may be able too compare the two.... But that front mount most definetley needs moved.... IMHO.....

Oh and your ring height is the same as mine.....
