The caliber really isn't the issue - it is the length of the cartridge. I have one that feeds certain .30-06 cartridges, and hangs up un others when the projectile catches on the side of the action coming out of the feed rails. Filing on feed rails is a tenuous practice - the tiniest bit too...

I have one I built before learning to machine a sleeve to fit between the scout rail and the barrel in the front, and one I built after learning this.

Just to resurrect this post, I have a brace of .35 WAIs.

I have built several 308WIN scout rifles on the VZ24 actions. You see, in 1996 I was running ammo production at A-Square and Art pointed out the surplus VZ-24 actions coming into the country at $80 each. I managed to snatch up a half dozen or so. Smartest gun buy I have ever made!!!! Have also...

As a new guy in this field (going to South Africa with Somerby in JUN '20), I would like to add in another facet no one has mentioned. Not all of us can spring for a magnum length action (retired and school teaching doesn't provide for alot of mad money) - the Ruger Alaskan in stainless, 20"...

IAW Shootist 43's request: I am taking a 38 Turk Mauser rebuilt into a .35 Whelen Ackley Improved with a scout scope mounted - either a Vortex 2-7 or a Leupold 2.5X. Wife is taking a VZ24 rebuilt into a .308 scout rifle with a Leupold 2.5X mounted. Like any true American, I do not own enough...
