No no thumb cut out in the receiver at all

Yeah I love em I’ve got a few of them but not the new ones with the safe bolt system I never liked that from the day they launched it at SHOT years back I’m more into the ones from the 70/80/90s they all still shoot better than me I’ve even got a professional that went through the importers in...

Yup it’s the classic Bavarian stock at the back I’ve asked voere about the action and especially the safety catch on the bolt no reply yet though Not sure if Austria have started Christmas holidays really early I’ve just knocked rear sight out of the block no screw so it’s bloody soldered on...

Yup same here And the Austrian proof houses aren’t replying to my emails Gonna have to see if the rear sight knocks off later today

There’s a few of these in an auction house in the uk this month I believe I’ve never used one but they do look good I’m stuck on my steyrs though so probably not for me

Ok so thinking it could be a voere now looking at the safety but never seen a stock carved round the pistol grip like this one before

Morning What scope are you using if it’s to far back ? I’m not sure on the model of them will try find the packet this week They were bought to fit a set of old Parker hale blocks but didn’t fit at all so tried them on this and perfect fit I will need to get another set for the 45/70 now...

Morning matey Talley mounts

Never seen a Parker hale in this caliber I’m impressed Way to much money in my book would be a few hundred quid in the uk I think

Thanks for that It’s one of those things there probably aren’t many surviving ones left around these days I’m keeping my eyes out for one though as I just think it would be a cool rifle to pick up

Morning Will see if I can find it again

Guys Just a quick question if I may please I’m sure I’ve seen on a YouTube channel that back in the day Rhodesia parks service ordered a bunch of the above rifles from the uk ?? Im sure one of the PHs was carrying one and mentioned it in the video I think it was a T I A one Cheers
