Greetings,
I see the Parker Hale Standard .303 listed at $36.00. I bought one about 1967 and it cost me $29.00 (fourteen pounds 10 shillings) with a new barrel. I could have saved $2.00 by getting one with a checked barrel. Note that the .222 and .308 rifles are a lot cheaper than others of the same make and model. Something to do with supporting CAC springs to mind. In 1970 or 71 a friend and I bought a 3 bedroom house to set up as a Flat. It cost $8,150.00 including chattels (whatever they were). It was a different time.
Regards Grandpamac.
