My Jeffery .400 has Southgate ejectors and I have many times closed it with the triggers pulled. It closes quite happily, letting down both the tumblers and the ejectors smoothly without any 'clicks' or 'snaps'. The only difference is that when it is next opened it cocks the tumblers, and then it cocks the ejectors on closing.
No problem that I can see.

Tony,

I'm not sure how the ejectors can be "let down" as the action is being closed?
When the action is closed the ejectors MUST be snug back in their recesses in the chamber walls, meaning that the ejector springs are fully compressed and the ejector tumblers are fully cocked.
If the fore-end is on the gun and the action is closed, I can't see how the ejector springs and ejector tumblers could ever be in a "let down" or uncocked position.
Am I missing something here?
