[QUOTE="atl5029, post: 1361510, member: 84273"] I have just recently built a custom Mauser on a BRNO VZ-24 action. My gunsmith says that 95% of your accuracy is going to come from using a good barrel, and I tend to agree. Using a good stock and a solid bedding job and having a good trigger should turn out a good rifle regardless of the style of Mauser action you are using. I build mine in 30-06. With my handloads using IMR 4064, Winchester brass and 168gr SMK and TTSX bullets, I was consistently making hits on rocks out to 950 yards in the southwest Colorado desert last week. My barrel might surprise you though...I used one of the $85 mauser barrels from Brownells. I bought it because this rifle was going to be purposed as a general hunting rifle for only out to 400-500 yards, so I figured I'd take a chance on an $85 barrel since the reviews were so good. Turn out the reviews were totally deserved. Those barrels are excellent and my rifle shoots sub MOA all day with my handloads. [/QUOTE]
