[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1106602, member: 10291"] iMO, having spent many years using both designs, for sheer extraction, the Mauser design will result in more effective extraction. In it's original design the Mauser extractor grips a greater radius of the cases extractor groove. It also remians stationary on the rim during the camming action of the bolt. An added benefit is that the bolt/extractor has secured the cartridge as it is stripped from the magazine, right through firing, and until you eject the cartridge. If the bolt is short stroked or even shot while upside down, the action will function. These attributes are considered insurance for hairy, dangerous game encounters using high preside cartridges that could be subjected to high temperature, bullet setback in the case upon refill, or just sheer durability and reliability. On the other hand, a typical shooter could go through their entire life and never realize the difference between the two designs from this respect. There are also advantages of this system over the CRF design in terms of simplicity, ease of single loading and strength of the action at the cartridge head. [/QUOTE]
