I've been hankering after a finlight but I keep hearing that they have ejection problems... they eject the shell up into the scope or something... Was that problem fixed or still an issue?

BCCP #370......Finally
I would PM GEF and get his insight on the issue.

It depends on the scope and how low you mount it.

I have 2 and never had a problem..... but I am only one person. To be honest, I've never heard of that until now.

I have 2 as well. Have not had any issues with ejection or anything else.
One has a SWFA 6X on it , it has a 30mm tube and large turrets, again no issues.
One in medium Leupold ring mounts, the other in Sako ring mounts.

The only issue ive had after about 400 rounds was that the empty shells were not being ejected properly. What i found was that the bolt was gummed up from the cleaner I was using but good as new after cleaning it.

Its more common with the WSM's, but can show up with almost any chambering.

I have a 7mm rem mag and 300 win mag and no issues, highly recommend the Sako Finnlight.

I own 3.
243 Win brown laminate leupold vx3 40mm
270 wsm grey laminate Swarovski z5 BT
7mm RM carbon Swarovski z5 BT
All use sako oprilock ring mount not the two piece mounts and I have had no issues what so ever. Yes I’m aware of the ejection issues but I have had none and all three rifles shoot lights out.

I have a 300WSM, never an issue.
It was a major issue with the A7's not finnlight as far as I know.
