Hi I am thinking of getting a Tubb Extractor kit from midway. For my .223 Rem 700. I have been haveing extraction problems. The kit requires milling of the bolt. It is a Sako type extractor. Any one out there useing one? Better way to go? Any input would be good. Thanks

I would be asking myself why my stock remmy bolt wasn't extracing. You might look for that problem first.

+1, you should find the problem before spending $ on solutions...

Have one on my 40x 308,dont waste your money or time as they do not eject any better than the factory one does.Also im sure someone here on the forum will come on and say im wrong,so if you want too go ahead and buy into the fad,in the end you will have wasted about $200.00 for nothing....

Somewhere on the net I bet you can find an article by Layne Simpson on the "upgrading" of 700 extractors. Long to short is it is always a mistake. If your 700 extractor is not working it is an easy, cheap fix. I have found them to be about the most reliable of all except the 98 Mauser. I did have some trouble with the .223 chewing up the cases and bolt closing hard as it was too tight, but that was a 3 min fix with a file. Just loosened it up a bit as it grabbed too tightly. It extracted fine. I understand that this is common with the newer 700 .223's
Sako extractors are not reliable, even on Sako's in my expirence.

I have had 2 sakos brought to me to fix. The remington can be fixed in the field in under 5 minutes. That is why I just bought a surgeon 591 over some of the others. In my pack is a multi tool and and extra extractor.
