I don't believe that anybody has ever shown Swedish Mauser M94/M96 rifle actions to be deficient in any way,
"for their designed purpose". They were made from quality steel to a very high standard of fit and finish.
I don't recall any reports of Husqvarna or Stiga sporting rifle failure with the appropriate CIP sporting cartridges.
We are not talking about negligent failure like a plugged bore.
So, I believe that discussion of the strength of a Stiga sporting rifle is In the realm of theoretical speculation.
Is a Stiga rifle suitable for handloading to the highest pressure possible ? Not in my world!
They have served for generations however, with appropriate ammo.
The Mauser 98 action has better design features to control gas escape from cartridge case failure. That being said, bad things happen when a careless experiment goes astray, even with a M 98.
