Yes, you can convert a VZ 24 action to 300 Win. Mag. You have to open the bolt face to fit the mag shell rim. the VZ-24 action has a mag made for 308 lenght shells. you have to cut the front part of the mag well off and weld in extenders on the sides to lenghten the mag well. Most times you have to also open up the side rails to allow the larger dia. mag shell to feed without causing a jam. Any good gunsmith can do this for you, and he can preform a inspection of the action to make sure it is in good condition and can be used for a conversion to a mag. which will have higher pressures then the cartidge it was made for.
