One can find if you look long and hard of 700 extractor failures. One does not have to look as hard to find claw extractor rifles with feed issues. A 375 or better yet a 300 H&H feed nicly so pushed, I guess better feeding of cartridges is preferred to the theory of bad push feed extractors failing. It could be a concern, I have fresh 700 extractors in my .416s and do change before needed on any used 700 that comes my way. Never had the M-16 extractor fitted, but seems to work Ok unless you go crazy with hot handloads. I have a .340 WBY V that is box stock and as it is the first shot that determines most outcomes, push feeds get the job done, too.
