Remington 597 ejection problem

I'm wondering if someone might have some insight and a suggestion. I have a Remington 597 that fails to eject spent casings correctly and it's been doing it since the day I bought it(new). What it does is after I fire and before the spent case can clear the ejection port, the bolt catches the casing as it's ejecting (while pushing the next round into the chamber) and jams it in the front of the ejection port. So what I have is an empty case sticking out of the port, a sideways stovepipe. I have tried different .22 ammo to hopefully correct this. I've tried Remington and Federal, they are the worst. Blazer .22 does it to but not as frequent, about every 4th or 5th round. Please help and Thanks!
