All the answers you have so far are all golden! I have double rifles equipped both ways, and there are situations where either may be preferable.

When shooting on a range I like extractors, simply because I don’t want my brass hitting the concrete every time I reload fast for #3, and #4. When hunting deer bear or hogs I don’t like them because I don’t like loosing expensive brass.

The one time I love selective ejectors is when hunting Cape buffalo in the thick jesse. Buffalo often take more than two rounds to stop, and in that situation, I couldn’t care less about the brass, what I want is the empties out of my way. I don’t hunt elephant, but if I did I think I’d prefer extractors, because in many cases the Askaris are near, but unseen, and the “PING” and click on opening, marks you for the Askari. Top that off with the click of the re-setting the ejectors on closing, and you are making a lot of metallic noise.

I can live with either no matter the game I’m chasing, but for Buffalo, or follow-up on the cats I’d like to have them.

Like others here, if I were buying new, then I’d likely get ejectors, because as already stated they are easy to disengage, and they inhance resale!
