My Mauser-based .30-06 P-H Safari came from England in a friend's suitcase in the early 60's - well before P-H started making model numbers like 1200, etc, and using BSA actions, and IIRC before Santa Barbara actions were made/available.

Mine is Mauser 98 based, it has the thumbcut in the left receiver wall - so I don't believe the action to be FN, which AFAIK all have the thumbcut deleted.

P-H quality was excellent, and if you want a .300 mag, it's as good a buy as any.
