I was having ejection problems since I bought the rifle 2.5 years ago. At best, only about 90-95% of the spent cartridges ejected properly. Five-10% never made it out of the breech area. In addition, I had to briskly pull back on the bolt to achieve an inadequate level of reliability. I have posted this issue before and I know others have had a similar problem. I finally decided to bring this matter to BerettaUSA’s attention and they were able to fix it (in two attempts) at no charge to me. The extractor was replaced and what a difference this has made. The extractor was definitely the problem. Any of you having similar issues should contact Beretta, describe the problem, and indicate extractor as a highly probable cause. Two “thumbs up” for Beretta-USA.
