Which, if any, is more ideal and why? I am building a 6br tube gun off a R700 action and will be upgrading the extractor to help with the ejection issues with the 6br case but I am not sure whether to do an M16 or Mini M16 extractor.

Wouldn't the factory work just fine?
Just asking.
Maybe help you get an answer or something.

Factory remington extractor works fine for the most part. Save the cash and use it for more ammo or something.

If you really want to upgrade, go with the Mini. You really don't need the extra grab on the rim, and it messes less with your bolt.

Re: M16 or Mini M16 Extractor
One other thing you might want to consider here is that an M16 or Sako extractor added to an M700 seriously compromises it's ability to handle a gas leak, In essence, you've compromised one of their primary strengths and eliminated one of the "three rings of steel" that makes the 700 such a strong, safe action. HAd a very interesting conversation with Allen Hall (Hall actions) about this at a match some years back. I'd had several of these conversions done on my own rifles. Never again, and the factory extractor will do just fine.

Re: M16 or Mini M16 Extractor
I would keep the factory remington extractor but I need the reliability of ejection with the claw style so I dont have spent cases falling back into the action during the rapid fire stages of an across the course match
