I have a Marlin 336 in .30-30 that I bought a couple of years back. A few months back I was at Bass Pro with my father, and I stumbled upon a Bushnell combo pack, spotting scope with a 3-9X rifle scope, fow what would usually be about the price of one. He needed a spotting scope, and well, he doesn't have a rifle for that scope, but I do (awfully nice of him to give me a free scope). Anyways, back to my problem, I installed the scope over X-mas break (most of my firearms reside in my parent's gunsafe, and do not come to C-bus) and took it out to zero it in. Out of my box of 20 rounds, I had 5 that did not eject properly. As I worked the lever, the empty brass would just stay in the receiever, and I would have to rotate the weapon so that gravity would do the work of getting the casing out of the rifle. I don't recall having this problem before, but then again, the rifle sees maybe 100 rounds a year. (prolly about 250 through it). Any ideas on what would be causing this problem?
