Was bored searching through my garage down state and found a Parker N Hale M82 Target barrel, I cut it t 20 inch and dura-coat it, mounted it on a VZ24, Action trued, lugs lapped, dev-con steel bed into a ATI stock, I gave it a 11 degree target crown, will shoot it tomorrow.

back from the range

used 168 grain American Eagle, shot .536 then using the 3rd mildot on the cheap tasco scope I shot the steel target at 400 with all 1st round hits, not bad for a mauser laying around

Looks great, and looks like it's a shooter.

OT question. Can those VZ24 actions handle the 3.6" COAL for the .375 H&H class of cartridges?
