Personally, i would never choose to use a M700 in a dangerous game setting as i have seen extractors fail and because there are better options that don't cost any more. But replacing a M700 extractor seems silly. Just limit their use where you are happy to accept that very occasionally one might fail. Which is the vast majority of shooting and hunting scenarios. There are simply too many other good rifle actions out there for me to be bothered modifying a M700. A M700 action is fine as it is, live with its limitations.
