Nice Type A Pattern No1 you have there Rustam.
I have same in .404 Jeffery (standard length action opened up from original 10.75x68) and planned to put it into an off the shelf Mauser M98 synthetic stock.

I would have had to open up the mag space and the barrel channel in the plastic fantastic to take the .404J magazine box and larger barrel contour. Other than that everything else lined up. In the end I just didn't like the look of plastic.
Some time in the future I will probably have another nice stock made in walnut and keep the original Mauser factory stock as is.

These rifles are made to hunt and I have committed the "cardinal sin" so to speak, of drilling and tapping for a Weaver bridge mount from the receiver to the rear of the multi leaf safari sight (exactly same height - no packers required). Originally for a green dot sight but now a Leupold 2x extended eye relief scope in low Weaver rings sits in place. Fantastic to use with both eyes open, and can be quickly removed to use the open sights straight down the centre of the mount if required. The great Pondoro Taylor would even approve as he suggested the very same set up in his African Rifles & Cartridges book.

In short, your standard action should fit into any of the stocks made for the M98 Mauser.

Cheers.
