I concur completely with the theme of the 1895 Chilean genre rifles in 7mm as of real quality. The design and age deficiencies are 'there', as compared to their '98 mauser successors and better metallurgy 'available'. But also both genre entirely sufficient for "application as intended". It's not the rifle, but the "user" as with either Bubba effect in unsafe alterations or reloader in pushing chamber pressures! Such the weak link! I have two Chileans in Rifle and short rifle as original configurations. Also, several Swedes in 96 and 38 as long and sort of it!
They're all really nice rifles! Folks criticise the "cock on closing" feature as "outdated". I prefer it!
Compared to the Swede '96, perhaps the '95 down a click in context of Swede heralded quality steel. Yet as indulging to comparisons, the inherently stronger 'thumb cut free' Chilean receiver to me several clicks up particularly in sporting context where clip loading isn't a consideration! A half century later Husqvarna got it right in "96 sporting context" with their solid sidewall models of nineteen forties. Then too, I also prefer a striker nut without the Swede-eccentric configuration. All said, I enjoy them both for what they are!
From "collector perspective" as such rifles sporterized, opening a door yet of issue well trodden!
Congrats on achieving a better fitting as modernized rifle styling derived!
Best!
