dunno what model but I had a 3006 bolt action parker hale when I was a teenager and it was a poorly machined piece of shit that had a really rough action and it always jammed live rounds down the spout

yea look through there and use Google but still couldn't mange to figure out what model mine is.

be on old rifle with a ati synthetic stock on it
all the info showing what it is is most likely covered over with it
take off the stock and have a nosey

I have a parker hale safari 270, was cheap as chips and shoots straight every time. If you look after them they can be good rifles

yea i haven't had any issues with mine yet

took it off just says bnp with da crown pic again
and "270 win 2.54"
19tons per square"

cheers chrome from good links tracked it down to model 1000 or 1100 both are known as good accurate rifles had gun smith check it out he didnt know anything about it but he said barrel 75% condition and also has after market trigger fitted

thanks all for help

I had a PK308 Safari with a Weaver Scope, same as this

Sloppy bolt, loose as fck, but they made them that way (so I am told)

Never jammed, always seemed to hit what was in front of it but that depended on who was on the blunt end of course. It even spent a couple of weeks in a river after it came of the horse during a flooded river crossing. lucky it had just been oiled up just before

The Army had Parker Hales 7.62 Sniper rifles for years, again, they all had real loose bolts/actions.

parker hales were built using 98 mauser actions, nothing wrong with them.

The synthetic stock looks no good, best you convert it back to wood and send me your plastic one!!
