You mentioned a "95 Chilean" that is not a 98 small ring action....the pre 98's like the 91s the 95s etc were not designed to handle the pressure of more modern rounds like the .308 win.
The pre model 98 actions are push cockers and cock on closing....the model 98 action cocks on opening and were light years ahead of the earlier models.
The only small ring 98 I ever came across in my Mauser days was a 1939 Chec 7x57 full stocked sporter.
