    I've read all about these ejection problems with the 85. I have 2 of them, different models, eg one Finn and one wood and haven't experienced this problem at all

    Mine are the medium action but if your using the 7x64 it will be the same action as mine.
    The throat length in my 6.5x65 has never been a problem.
    weird.

Mine has a crappy Leupy on it, currently without scope caps so there's no issues there at the moment...
    @The Claw Reason for picking the 6.5 Creedmoor over 6.5x47 or another 260? I’m tempted to turn mine into a 6.5SLR
    Shut up, get out & start pushing!

    I have another 6.5 Creedmoor, so that's main reason. If I still had 6.5x47L dies then it would be a little more difficult to choose... CM fits better in the short action compared with a 260, especially when I can't do anything with the mag length. If I could get a 3 inch mag then the 260 would make more sense given that I have dies and brass already.

    If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more

    @The Claw I tried cycling some 6.5x47 rounds thru the finnlight & they didn't cycle very well so it's probably not an option

    The shorter Sako 85 SM action (.308 size) doesn't have the ejection problem, at least on mine and all of the ones I've seen being used. Numerous reports on the web of some of the longer 85 actions having the case hitting the scope.

    I’ve only ever struck the ejection issue myself on the xs 223 action. Never had the issue with the short or medium length actions.

    My “S” action 85’s all eject well.
