Neat stuff; thanks for it!
Never been a fan of the '95. Its magazine especially sucks compared to the Savage 95/99, although it could use stripper clips. Could the Savage military musket use them? (Never seen one up close enough to tell).
The '95 is also a pain (literally) to carry long distances, at least the .30-40 we had when I was a kid was difficult to carry in any of the normal hunter carry positions, even for my dad. The balance point (magazine well) hurts your carrying hand, or your forearm if you carry it over your left arm.
Certainly the Savage could have been modified to use stripper clips, since the "Greek" Mannlicher-Schoenauer '03 used them to feed its rotary magazine.
