1908 Brazilian Mauser action

Depends. For one things its old, and its a small ring action which sort of limits it to the round it was meant for and similar rounds. The Argentine is a good round by itself, similar to a .308 in power. So depending on what you want to do, it may be fine.
Just dont think you can turn it into Bobs Whelen! :A Banana: :ROFLMAO:
 
I had some years ago built a Brazilian into a beautiful Oberndorf style sporter in 7x57 and it was a really nice shooter, which I had kept it.
My smith never mentioned any issues with the action.

Ha! Ha! (Can’t figure out how to use the emojis on my phone and that’s where all my photos are). Too bad it won’t work for a Whelen. The bolt face is large enough for an ‘06? Maybe a .25-06?
 
.30-06 may not feed, depending on the rail geometry. I use '38 Turk Mausers for .30-06 length cartridges.

Pull it out of the wood and look at the metal there - many have rot below the woodline!

Not meant for those longer rounds. You need a model 98, preferably a large ring Mauser.

Maybe a .243 Nelson Improved then? Nevermind, I'll keep looking.

Saw a good looking knife you posted a pic of with the watermelon. Can I ask the make? Looks like you hunted with Guav Johnson? We overlapped in the Save once. Would like to hunt with him one day..
