Remington 700

I have researched and read all the threads on the Remington 700 verses Winchester 70 debates and really don't want to restart that thread. What I am looking for is feedback from the Professional Gunsmiths on this board on Remington Model 700 extractor failures. I know quite a few people who own the 700 and have shot hundreds of rounds through them and have never had a failure and own several myself. Is this extractor weakness just a fine point to throw up for a debate or does the Remington have a true design flaw? How many of the gunsmiths here have actually fixed broken Model 700's with any problem? Thanks guys, I wanted to hear from experience not theories.

CapeFear. I have a Remington 660 in .308 Win. This rifle has the same type extractor as the Model 700. After better than 5,000 rounds the extractor failed. Getting a new one was no big deal. My son hasn't shot his Mod. 700 enough to tell yet how well it will hold up.
