[QUOTE="Kevin Cram, post: 428063, member: 2215"] Good, I just read that your building a 338 Norma Mag. Also as you stated this is based off of the 416 Rigby case. Here is where it's nice to have all the facts first. In your case now, I would [U]not[/U] advocate using a sako extractor let alone even a Remington action. The bolt diameter is too small for this large of a case head. I would recommend you look into getting a complete custom action such as the Stiller TAC 338 that has the .750" diameter bolt and is designed for these larger cases. You know I've been sitting here typing for an hour my response about the safety issue of a sako extractor, and how I've never had one failure in over over 20 years. But then it finally dawned on me, I've got better **** to do than argue over a sako extractor. I've got 6 Remington bolts being fitted with sako extractors right now in the shop to do. [/QUOTE]
