Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Parker-Hale's any good?

Thats pretty much how they were viewed over here, ie a good solid working grade gun, usually accurate and reliable but not too refined..

I'm not an expert on P-H rifles but I believe the actions were various surplus Mausers from different sources...Because of that, certain models of P-H are more desirable than others.

The sad thing is that if you think about quality relative to what is available today, things like Tikka T3, SakoA7 ect, P-H actually stack up pretty good due to the old fashioned materials and build methods..They will never be as nice as say an early Sako, but they are not bad at all especially for what they typically sell for (or used to- to a certain degree, they're getting collectble over here...)
