My 7x57 was built on a 24/47 action and it has given excellent service. If you don't already know a stock built for a model 96 Mauser can be easily modified to fit these actions with the only real difference being large ring instead of small ring, not a big reach for many of us to open up and glass bed.
Yeah, be careful there. Some 96 stocks can be used, it depends on how they were cut, The magazine release/bolt stop sits further forward on the 96 than on the intermediate. So, on some stocks you will have a pretty unsightly gap. All depends on how the stock was cut. Same problem exists when trying to use a std SR stock on a SR Mexican 98. if you are having someone duplicate a stock for you , let them know the intended purpose. But just ordering a vendor's 96 stock may not work out the way you planned.
