I know this may be a matter of religon for some. I have both on my 700s. I have an original 700 BDL in 270 I bought 40 years ago, never failed to feed or extract even when running some very hot loads during load development. Many thousands of rounds through that rife. I also have a one year old Rem XCR II in 375 H&H that came out of the box with an extractor that was too big (wouldn't chamber a Rem factory round). I didn't have time to send it back to the factory, so I had my gunsmith, Kevin Weaver who's worked on a ton of 700s, put a Sako extractor on it. It also has worked very well.
So, pros and cons? I know neither is a CRF, I have a CZ 550 in 500 Jeffery which is, but I've trusted the 270 with my life in several situations and it's never let me down. Though I think from now on the 500 Jeff will get that job.
