Default Sako extraction problems

I have a used Sako 75 in .25-06. When I first got it I never noticed any problems with it, but then I had trouble with it extracting ammo out of the chamber. It would some times not extract then with the same shell fed in it would. This is with factory ammo, reloaded ammo, unfired ammo and even fired ammo. I eventually sent it back to the Sako reps in Canada and they put in a new extractor kit, that was 2 years ago. It came back and worked fine. Now just the other day after shooting at a coyote, it would not extract the second shell I chambered. Anybody have any good ideas on what's the problem. I probably only put through 20 rounds or less since the fix.
Thanks.

Something is inhibiting the proper range of travel of the extractor.

Some things that come to mind are;
Excessive oiling of the bolt resulting in congealed oil in our colder climates.

Perhaps it's a foreign debris issue.

Without having a hands on session with the rifle it's all just speculation.

I find this very odd as many a rifle is converted from different extraction systems in favor of the Sako system, as a means of reliability.

Hmmm.
Take it to someone who knows their way around rifles.

Thanks Dick, gives me a few things to check when I find some time. It was bought used and I thought the first time this happened that is maybe why someone got rid of it. Shoots great though.
