LRI in Sturgis S.D. offers this service. Be sure to read the warning on his website about the issues that may arise with a m16 style extractor in a Remington 700 magnum bolt face.

Because the case rim diameter on a magnum cartridge is larger than a .308 diameter case, the extractor must pivot further away from the centerline by a small amount as it slips over the case rim to gain the required purchase. Because Remington-style barrel tennons use a counterbore feature on the breech face, the outer portion of the extractor is likely to interfere with the inner ring of the barrel as it attempts to slip over the cartridge case rim on the OEM inside diameter.

Determining this is easy as it's a "Pass/Fail" exercise. If the bolt fails to close on a loaded chamber after the installation of a magnum extractor, it's almost a certainty that the breech ring ID interference is the problem. Solving this problem requires the barrel to be removed from the action and the inner ring to be opened up slightly in a lathe with a boring bar. It's a very simple process for any vetted gunsmithing shop to perform.

LRI balances this small inconvenience against the increased reliability. We feel it's worth the effort as it makes for a much more robust and reliable system. Any shop performing this level of work is likely to be experienced with this minor detail as it's a very common occurrence with other M16 extractors used for M700 actions.n

The single downside to installing either the Sako or M16 extractor in a Remington style barrel tenon is you basically negate the much advertised “three rings of steel” that Remington touted as the key safety factor in the event of a severe over pressure.
However, since installing these types of extractors has become common place, it is pretty much a moot point.
