#PARKER HALE SERIAL NUMBER LOOKUP PLUS#
Another plus with a modern action is your gunsmith will probably have more experience working on say rem 700's or Win 70's. A modern action will give you quite a few features that lend themselves to better accuracy than the venerable Mauser 98. If you desire a highly precise shooting rifle I would put that rifle on the shelf and start with a modern action. The extractor on you PH may have been ground to allow it close on a round but still it is a good idea to load from the magazine. If you close the bolt starting with a round sitting in the port the extractor has to flex itself over the rim as the bolt closes and this is hard on the extractor and may lead to premature failure.
The Mauser claw extractor is much happier to strip a round out of the magazine as them round is already under the extractor. One note: cycle the action with rounds in the magazine, do not place a round on top of the follower (above the feed lips) and close the bolt.
Shooting a bunch of deer in low light you want to anchor them right where they stand, tracking takes a lot of time.Ĭlean the gun up and find what it likes to shoot, don't assume you will get accuracy like modern rifles will produce but like I said it should be aequate for all but long range hunting. That Parker Hale is built on a commercial Mauser 98 action, a pretty sound hunting gun should shoot minute of deer without any problems, all of my hunting guns are built off of Mauser 98 for a number of reasons I have gone through on a number of posts here on the 'Hide.Ģ70 Win is pretty impressive caliber on deer-sized animals, I used to shoot crop damage deer, tags by the 50-count book, and I would use my 270 with 130 Core-lokt as they dropped deer faster than anything else I used, 90% of the deer shot with that round were bang flop.
