PH's in Africa were particularly happy with the M70 because they then had a bolt-action that would never, ever end up with a round in the chamber and no way to get out out except with a cleaning rod.
Per Jack Belk, Peter Paul Mauser designed the M98 so that it wouldn�t have this problem either and the operating manual issued to troops included instructions on how to address the situation. If you have a round in the chamber with the bolt open just push on the side of the extractor as you close the bolt and the engaging end of the extractor will jump the rim. But you don�t have to believe me, just try it yourself. I have; it works.
All the best.
