[QUOTE="Fulldraw™, post: 121872, member: 6287"] Varmint Hunter, As I stated in my post, I based my opinions on my personal experience with various models of the Rem mod 700 that I have owned and of those I have handled. A gunsmith friend of mine that works at a local gunshop tells me that repairing broken extractors on the Rem mod 700 is the number one repair order for that firearm. While in NM several years ago at the beginning of an elk adventure one of my hunting compadres uncases his Rem 700 BDL 7mm mag to test fire and check the zero at the outfitters range. On the third round fired the extractor broke. If memory serves this rifle had less than 100 rounds down the tube. My friend finished his hunt with my back-up model 70. On another model 700 I had the extractor break on the 16th round fired! Take a good look at the extractor and compare it to almost any other commercial centerfire action on the market i.e., Howa, Weatherby, Savage, Ruger, and Winchester and then look at the Remington and tell me it's not puny by comparison! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!! I wouldn't bet my life on dangerous game with the stock Rem 700 push feed action and extractor! Does anybody? Yeah, I know that some will and do. On an entirely different subject........ever notice that a lot of those heavy banging model 700s have their magazine floorplate duct taped? Oops, don't let the lion have me for dinner before I pick up my dumped rounds off the ground!!! VH, you mentioned your smith INSISTED on installing a Sako extractor...I would be curious as to why HE felt so strongly about this modification.........as do many other smiths. It is a very popular and I feel an ultimately worthwhile upgrade modification! Money well spent indeed! Better money spent would be to go with the Badger Ordnance extractor at about twice the cost. Do you remember the recall on the Rem mod 700 safety years back? [/QUOTE]
