Extractors are 100% reliable, the same can't be said about ejectors, if ejectors weren't problematic in rifle chamberings, H&R would probably have never switched to extractors on all their centerfire rifles, failure to eject was the biggest and most common complaint about H&R rifles, they seem to work fine in rimfires and shotguns tho, they're still making them with ejectors. It's really too bad they don't offer the option on accessory rifle barrels, then at least the parts would still be available, ejector barrels would really be appreciated by many.
