I am moving forward slowly with my VZ -24 Sporterizing project. I have installed a taller front sight and sent the bolt off to John Mc Laughlin to have him install his "Rigby" style rear sight. Yea the one in the bolt. What I looking for now is some insight into aftermarket stocks. Boyds has a separate listing for BRNO VZ -24s but only with a NO. 1 barrel contour. Mine rifle still has the Military barrel on it. I contacted Richards Microfit Stocks, but they only have options for Mauser K-98s. They do however offer one inlet for Military barrels. Will a BRNO VZ - 24 fit into a stock that is "inletted" for a Mauser K 98?
 
VZ is 3/8" shorter than a K98 action with regard to the spacing between the action bolts. You could make it work - with it firing 8mm, then it isn't as iff you are expecting to fire a .458 Lott on bedding compound glopped around the extra space. The Boyd's At One stock fit my VZ-24 very nicely, but I suspect you want a more traditional stock layout.
 
Thanks Capt. Dan, that is the exact information I was looking for.

Ive got a Richards Microfit stock on a VZ24 30-06 that I built last year.. you can definitely make it work... I both pillar and glass bedded mine.. looks great, shoots great, etc..

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
