Butch,
Dunno where I said the present 700 actions aren't straight.
My first (and still the most) experience with Sako extractors on 700's occurred with the late Dave Gentry, who installed them routinely--including the one on the .280 Remington he built for me around 1990. He did not install them where they'd line up in the bolt raceway, and in fact installed them in basically the same position relative to the bolt face and lugs as Sako does. Would appreciate hearing why they'd need to be installed so they'd be in the raceway.
