Does anyone know if this action holds a 30-06 shell?


I just bought three M-24/47 rifles and they are too short....hold the 'X57 rounds nicely but too short for the 30-06 and I don't want more of them!

Yes they do. They are the standard length M98.

Yes they are standard length M98. They are the VZ-24 made for Iran & the nicest finished mauser's I have seen!
