77-22 ejector shim

At a recent shoot the firing line was at the drip edge of the range cover constant falling, melting snow was dripping on the rifle forend all day.
The rifle started having ejection problems in the late afternoon.
The 77-22 has an investment cast trigger guard that include the ejector.
By placing two shims cut from a Mountian dew bottle under the rear of the trigger guard the angle of the guard was changed enough to raise the ejector.
Might be a good idea to make sure the bolt does not drag on the ejector after the stock dries out.

Great tip Mark.  Thank you.
Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery
