Hello all, just picked up my Bargara Ridgeback .300 PRC and while doing a functions check with a live round from the mag the rounds get stuck at the end of the bolt cycle and won’t eject. Haven’t shot the rifle yet just wanted to see how it feeds and ejects and just won’t eject. Be honest just upset just spend 2k on a rifle that’s doing this, this is my first Bergara wanted to try them after using Tikkas for some time. Any help would be appreciated.

@Chad@Bergara will make it right. It's the weekend so might not hear from him til Monday, but their CS is fantastic.
Good to hear as you can imagine just disappointed trying a new brand that expensive and it has issues from the factory.
Looks like the bullet tip is clearing the ejection port, so it’s likely a plunger/spring issue. Best way to check function is to tap out the roll pin and inspect the spring and plunger for contamination, binding, etc.
If you don’t want to do that, shoot a bunch of brake cleaner into the plunger recess while pushing the plunger up and down, to try to free it up, then drop a couple drops of gun oil in there and check ejection function.

That sounds like a bound, broken, or incorrect spring. Luckily there’s only three simple mechanical pieces involved in the whole assembly, so it’s easy to troubleshoot.
Not sure just got it out of the box loaded the mag and cycled the bolt for function and noticed every round won’t eject at all.
I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your new rifle. I think the first thing to do if you are comfortable swiping it out yourself is a bolt repair kit. That will have the springs detents and extractor and ejector. If that does not get it up and running let me know and I will send you a shipping label to get the rifle back in for inspection and repair. Call me at 770-449-4687 or message me here with your complete contact info and address and I will ship it out.
