Badger Ordnance makes them for the Rem 700.
From their website:

Badger Ordnance | Premium Firearms Accessories

M16 Style Extractor
This simple but effective design works just like the extractor in an M16 rifle. Will not pull out like other extractors if a sticky cartridge is encountered. Used by the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Mk 13 sniper rifles. Made from Pre-hardened 4142 steel. Gunsmith installation required.
P/N 306-91 Magnum calibers
P/N 306-92 Lapua/Rigby based calibers

I did one of these a couple of years ago. The biggest challenge is locating the pivot pin hole. If I did another one, I'd build a drilling jig first. The pin location is critical. The rifle was a .340 Wby, and the extractor worked perfectly after a little reshaping of the hook with a Dumore and thinning the front just enough for it to go into the breech recess with a round under it.

Wambo, thanks for the info. I'm guessing that the Badger wouldn't require any reworking.
