I'm now glad I missed out on your hunt offer, was going to bring my .222.

Its funny, that sounds like exactly the reasons for some people buying a 270 instead of a 7mm08.

Haha wota legand!

My finnlight is a short action (SM short mag action) and it has the same problem, if i pull back the bolt very slowly the brass doesnt quite jump out of the action, normal use its not a problem its just the ejector pulls on the case to angle it a bit more upwards than outwards, in a hunting situation (prone shot) I actually kind of like it, shot fired, then just slowly open the action and the case pops off the bolt face and is sitting there for me to collect rather than fishing around in the grass for it.

Obviously too old to know that Datsuns are cool now!

I recall the old saying when it was `raining Datsun cogs `

Bet you Im just about half ur age.

That's ok. It was small of me anyway

Dude, grab a .223 and get some of the OSA 55gr game king loads.... you'll be able to use that a whole lot with low cost and learn good habits.
Spend a bit on your scope and learn to read the wind.... turkeys and rabbits are good targets to start with especially at range as you'll need to get it right past 200.
Howa, Tikka and CZ would be my choice in .223
