And they were loaded up to the full power of a 30-06. Back to the strength thing again, I've 7.65ењ†3's (original barrel, 30-06 case) based on the Argentino 1891. That said, you are right, 98's come with shrouds that act as better gas sheilds than previous models that don't. As far as the gas sheild it wasn't really a model 98 thing as it was just re-designing the shroud. The cock on open does give some 'leverage' for extracting a case that was loaded too hot.

I am glad you choose to continue to shoot!Д«ut, I will say Old Mausers are a lot stronger than people give them credit for. It's like going to Grade school, all over again.

Spelling is getting better, the more I type. They are a pleasure to shoot and with a good quality barrel, very accurate.Д®xcuse the spelling, I had a stroke two years ago, and can no longer spell worth a dang. People who have not read Hatcher's book or have been schooled in gunsmithing can end up with a time bomb on their sholder. As long as you stay in the proper CPU scale, it is a safe action. The addition of the third lug will stop it from coming back at you, if the lugs fail. The 98 will deflect the gas away frome the shooter beter than the 93/95 style action. One thing not brought up is the bolt helping deflect gasses after a cartridge does fail. Germany went to the 98 action for a reason.

Nothing on the market for either is all that hot. 257 Roberts on a Mauser Action is always a joy to shoot. There are only a few suspect versions of the Mauser out there, but they are numerous enough that it is wise to find what you have to be able to take advantage of that actions strength. That said, without markings and a full description of identifying features we can only guess at which rifle you have. We didn't stop using them, so I'm thinking they are completely safe. Because, the Swedes, British, Mexicans and even us Americans using one form or another of a bolt action military rifle would have had to quit using them for safety reasons. And, I've never heard of them being a safety factor. They are less of a problem than 'cock-on-open' actions. I've never understood why people say 'cock-on-close' actions are a problem.
