Remington of Mini-16. At least the mini-16 has a pin holding it in. IMHO, the Sako is a liability on a Remmy. I've had great success with the mini-m16 extracting cases that a remmy doen't particularly like (such as a 6mmBR)

+1, I would only install a Sako in an enemy's rifle.

I have 2 1-piece PTG bolts, one in a Rem 700 and one in a Stiller Predator. They both have mini-16 extractors, and they have worked every time so far. I also like the Rem extractor for the added safety feature.

A key difference between the two is the Remington extractor / ejector setup flings brass further. The mini-16 extractor with the PTG ejector probably flings brass about half as far. Could be a weaker ejector spring in the PTG ejector also, I don't know.

Sell that rifle and buy a design that does not require a bolt upgrade.

Such designs are the Ruger 77, M70, Kimber, Mauser, FN etc.

It seems you require more than one shot most of the time! grin

Here is a broken extractor on Lambert's push feed!

I'm sure the reason butch had a broken extractor has to do with round count, so that isn't any concern for you.

My only problem with m16 type is the ejection angle. It can be a problem with a low mounted scope with a windage turret. I much prefer the angle of a factory rem setup in such situations.

You are really reaching! That ain't mine and I haven't had that problem with my extractors. If you want me on your ass, don't apologize for your post.
