Sold: Parker hale .243

[Matastrophe]

I need to remove my .243 from my ticket to make way for an incoming 6x47. There is a big part of me that really wants to keep this gun, it shoots incredibly well, has never let me down and was my first CF rifle. I have owned it for nearly 15 years and put a fair few rounds through it.

This is a parker hale 1200 in a safari stock, I kept the original stock for this to fit to a .30-06. As it was pillar bedded etc.

It shot 100grn winchester soft points to 0.5 MOA from a bipod and happily shot 75grn Vmax homeloads to a similar level. I know the gun isn't worth a lot and I'd really like it to go to someone just starting out in stalking or who may not otherwise be able to buy a rifle.

The catch!
I'm away all next week from sunday and I'd like to submit my variation before I leave, so the gun would need to be collected by then, or storage arranged at an RFD.
If I don't have confirmation it will be off my ticket by Saturday lunchtime, I'll take it to the local RFD for disposal and tbh it's too good for that. I'm based just outside Taunton in Somerset.

Fantastic opportunity for a beginner/youngster on a limited budget!

Well done you

Expect loads of offers to take it from old farts who’ve been shooting 40yrs and get all dewy eyed at Parker Hales

I’d have it

Not a beginner but I’d take it off your hands
Unfortunately 3 1/2 hour drive from the midlands
Shame to destroy it such as it is.

Might be worth putting it in Netherhampton sales room at Salisbury market.
They are still taking submissions until early August. A very simple process.
PM me if you’d like some more details.

Anyone? I am now here next week, so can wait a few more days if helpful?

If this is not spoken for I would have it gladly. Though I admit I already have a rifle but it would be a guest rifle for when my brother comes to stay with me (he lives abroad). I'm in Devon so close enough and have a 243 slot.

Many thanks to Martin... lovely rifle and a load of homeloads and finished brass too.
