I have fired the 700 a lot, in various calibers, and have never had an extractor problem. I think the "problem" is badly overblown. Of course, some people who load to very high pressures experience extraction problems, but that is not the fault of the rifle or the extraction system.
As for the rifle itself, I know of one case where I am pretty sure only the Remington "three ring" breech saved the shooter from serious problems. The flip side is that he said he would never have loaded so hot in any other rifle.
