If you are only looking for an action, by all means get the VZ-24 action for the reasons indicated above and for one of the smoothest actions ever used on a Mauser rifle. But most of the VZ-24's on the market have bores ranging from poor to sewer pipe, so an M48 with a good bore might be a better shooter or a better bet for sporterizing in the same caliber.
There are parts and accessories (scope mounts, etc.) for the M48, but they are harder to find than those for the standard action.
