All mine eject just fine, too. From your picture, looks like yours is extracting fine, just not ejecting. Remove your bolt and hook a fired case it under the extractor, then straighten up (as it would come out of the chamber, thus compressing your ejector spring), holding it straight by the neck, then slip your finger off the neck and the ejector should kick the case several feet. I'd bet yours does not do this. Either broken, missing or weak ejector spring or ejector binding in the bolt head would be my guess.

Thank you for pointing out the difference between eject and extract. I meant eject.
I performed your above test and the case went flying just like it should.
This is a new rifle with 100 rounds thru it.
The extractor is the new black type and not the old gold type that was too soft. Thanks Dirty Dog.
Thanks for all your suggestions.
I had not noticed that the "picture" was a video before posting.
Since your ejector is working well, about the only thing left is that the extractor is releasing case before case neck clears action for some reason. Be sure the extractor slides freely in its slot and there is nothing under it to prevent a secure grasp on case rim. If nothing there, may be defective extractor.
Others seem to indicate this may be the case, so if nothing obvious, I'd give Savage a call.
