I'm looking for some info on extractors. I need to pick one from PTG to go in my action that is being trued.

Sako vs Mini M16 vs M16 vs Standard Remington Extractors.

I've got Sako and M16 installed in my Rems. I like the M16 badger extractor best, it is pinned in and very strong, the Sakos are nice but they can pop out if you pull on them with your finger testing the spring tension(don't ask how I know). Never had a failed extraction with it but knowing that it could pop out makes me like the design of the M16 better. Factory rem extractors are known to fail, verk weak design.
 
Put me down for the standard remington extractor. I have no firsthand knowledge on sako’s and m16’s. When I was faced with the decision last fall on my remington bolt and researched it I was left with the following opinions. Sako is bad cause if a case blows the extractor will need to be removed from your face. A m16 style, if used with a large turret scope, has a tendency to eject shell right back into where they came out of. I stayed with the remington OEM.
