I guess it still comes down to the 'Nut Behind The Butt". If you short stroke the action you may/will have problems depending on your rifle if it does not have a 'simon pure' mauser '98 action.

The features of the Mauser '98 were developed to counter problems in the heat of battle, not hunting. Some of those features seem to have been extrapolated into hunting over the years, especially for DG hunting (which I have no experience of).

I know I can't break my CZ my operating the bolt normally. This is one of the reasons I bought it. So its a matter of vigourously cycling the action, practise, practise, practise and not worrying about loseing a few empties over the side.

Edit: Huvious, I certainly hope you don't have to operate your rifle upside down, it may indicate things are not going well on your hunt.....
