[QUOTE="Kevin Cram, post: 427778, member: 2215"] Tim, With all these responses nobody bothered to ask what action you have. That can determine whether opening up the bolt face is feasible or if a aftermarket bolt would be better suited. Assuming it's a Remington 700, I've put 100's of sako extractors in Remington bolts for over 8 years and never had one let loose. The article on Lilja's website is referring to opening a Remington 700 bolt face up to accept a 378 Weatherby size case. I will open a bolt face on Remington 700 bolt and install a sako extractor up to the Ultra Mag size case. Cost wise it's absolutely cheaper to have the sako extractor conversion done, but done right, rather than purchase a aftermarket bolt. Here's a comparison. Remington 700 bolt with sako extractor conversion: $100 bolt face bored out and bushing silver soldered in. (included) bolt face opened up to desired case size. (included) sako extractor slot milled in place. (included) sako extractor parts installed. (included) TOTAL $100 Aftermarket bolt with non attached handle: $125 Handle attached $55 Sako Extractor Parts Kit $25 TOTAL $205 To see how a sako extractor is installed here's a video I put together to show the process.
