I have owned several Parker-Hales rifles over the past 40 years and all were perfectly serviceable. Some were very fine rifles and a few were exceptionally well done and very good looking.
All were very accurate.
The one I just got, that Sam Steele is referring to, shot into an inch with the very first load I tried in it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
