And the ejector and extractor failures are mostly caused by lack of cleaning. I recently had some extractor issues with my 700 and it was caused by brass getting behind the hook. Same thing happens with the ejector. I will say I have had this particular 700 since 1991 and its in its third tube. I never once cleaned the bolt in that time and never had a failure till now. Not bad considering it's been 23 years and it has been hunted quit a bit from Alaska to MT and here in the UP.
