I have a Parker-Hale model 1200 Super in 30-06 wich is very good. It�s made in Birmingham England. These were the higher prized rifles of the product line in regular calibers. Then there were the Safari- grade rifles for the big Mangum kalibers, they had the highest prizetag of the hunting rifles. The P-H 1000 Midlands were the cheapest but still good rifles for the money. Next came the P-H 1200s with Shnabel forend and Monte Carlo stock, in general the same rifle as the 1200s but with different stock design and wood. The 1200 super rifles were sort of deluxe version of the line. They have a valnut stock with Monte Carlo, roll over cheekpiece and white spacers at the grip and forend, a grip cap and forend in contrasting wood, the forend is squarish, the butt comes with a nice recoil pad. For a while they also offered a Varmint version of the 1200 rifle. All this is long gone wich is a sin because we are talkin about excellent firearms here. The whole thing was sold to USA some years back to Gibbs Rifle Co. The rifles assembled by them are generally considered lower in quality than the England made ones. The detachable magazines came with the USA assembled rifles and a round forend on both the 1100s and the 1200s. Spare parts are to be found, they at Gibbs have some info about that.
