Bat, borden, sako, tikka, and countless Remingtons use a Sako. I have seen remingtons with clip, sako, and 16 extractor after a case head separation. The 16 was the only one to leave the action. If you look at how a Sako is installed it would need to be a serious failure to cause it to leave the action. I like the Sako and do not feel it is unsafe in any way.

Although SAKO extractors are a common modification, their use should be confined to situations where the loading port is on the opposite side from the shooter, like when a right handed shooter is shooting a right bolt right eject rifle. The reason for this is that in the case of case failure the SAKO extractor can become a dangerous projectile, that could seriously injure the shooter. I know of one prominent benchrest shooter who carries a piece of one in his skull from one such incident.
