PARKER HALE 7.62 X 51 NATO 1200TX BOLT ACTION TARGET RIFLE.

EXCELLENT example of the Iconic British Made 7.62 x 51 Nato Bolt Action model 1200TX Rifle from Parker Hale, Birmingham.

Original 26” (660mm) Heavy Weight Match Grade Barrel set to a current Trigger Pull Length of 13 ½” (343mm). These combine to give an overall length of 47” (1195mm) and a Bare Weight  of a straight 10 Lbs (4.55 Kg).

I state again because this DOES warrant such: This is a SUPERB Example of an ICONIC British made Long Range Target Rifle.

From a time when our Steel Production and Engineering capabilities were second to none in the world. HOW times have changed! EXCELLENT Condition both inside and out its obvious the rifle has done minimal work to date. Also WELL looked after in all of this time.

Top loading single shot capacity. Fully Adjustable Match Grade Trigger. Flush inset Shooting Accessory Rail to the Beaver Tail forend. Original Parker Hale detailed Sling point.

An EXCEPTIONALLY Pretty / Bonny Stock. These are usually Beech but this IS THE bonniest piece of Beech I have EVER seen if it is. I suspect its actually Maple Walnut which is very unusual for any Parker Hale Rifle. Either way the example is THE NICEST I have had the good fortune to possess.

Strong and Straight Grain with a High Colour Contrast to Both Sides throughout its length. An after-market Adjustable Recoil Pad NEATLY finished and fitted.

One for my ‘SLEEPERS’ Category? It could well be. Though usually I reserve entry to that for guns that are older still. Lets call this a ‘Napper’?! It deserves additional praise all things considered and factored in.

Original Matching Parker Hale Target Dioptre sights available in stock to fit straight on too. That said one has just left for the US. I WILL also have Original manufacturers Scope Bases and Matching Rings. IF more modern ‘eye assistance’ (a Scope) is preferred / required.

This rifle DOES also deserve its Impressively CLEAN and Very Little used Condition re-stated. I HAVE seen, had and sold quite a few over the years and this IS the best to date. I also doubt there will be another this nice any time let alone any time soon.

29-05-2024 UPDATE: SODS LAW (AS USUAL, THOUGH NOT COMPLAINING ON THIS OCCASION) HAS JOINED THE ‘PARTY’ YET AGAIN!
I HAVE JUST MANAGED TO UNCOVER A 100% DEFINITE ‘SLEEPER’ EXAMPLE in even more to AS NEW ORIGINAL Condition. Thankfully I have managed to prove myself wrong with comments detailed above about not being able to ever find better.
That gun advert will be live soon. Admittedly neither are cheap. Equally neither are expensive for what they are and their condition. Both will very likely shoot as well as anything else out there in the right hands.

As such they both ARE, IN FACT, EXCELLENT VALUE and, in my opinion, actually an INVESTMENT. There ARE NO MORE being made and never will be again. It’s already a LONG TIME since they were. These rifles are only going to become even more collectable and sought after as time goes on.
