[QUOTE="Fulldraw™, post: 121863, member: 6287"] Have it done and never look BACK! Or better yet have the Badger Ordnance extractor installed instead of the Sako. The pros of having these mods? They are much less likely to fail at the worst possible moment. Two of the weak points on the mod 700 are the poorly designed safety and the absurdly anemic extractor. Over the years I have had 3 broken extractors and 1 failed safety on the highly lauded Rem 700 action. The cons of having the mods? The expense, but well worth it! Partial opening of the bolt face...maybe a con to Rem's legal department. I personally would NEVER EVER take a Rem Model 700 on a remote, expensive, once in a lifetime hunt with the stock extractor in place! Unless of course I had a good back-up rifle along for the ride and I'm not going to get too far from a smith until this mod is done. Nada! No way! This anemic extractor problem I think is also exacerbated with the use of potent reloads. Furthermore, because of the extractor and it being the weak link that it is I do not consider the the stock Rem 700 action duty reliable until the extractor has been modified!!! Just my little .02 worth of HO! [/QUOTE]
