I vaguely remember it as a mauser import from 40 years ago. BSA? Interarms? All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing -- Edmund Burke

It's for sale locally for $300. Seems like a good candidate for rebarreling! All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing -- Edmund Burke

Nothing wrong with Parker Hales. I'd shoot it. Up hills slow, Down hills fast Tonnage first and Safety last.

I refinished the stock on this one for a friend, recut the checkering. It's a .300 WM and a good shooter. DF

I still have two. I believe that the 6mm is the best varmint cartridge. (I also have a 256 WM, and a 350RM. And a few other odd balls. Is that 6mm Parker Hale as nice as yours? If so I'm very interested. I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

The OP's gun is a Parker Hale, Eastern European Mauser action, put together in Birmingham, England. DF
