Got my rings back from engineer today, got him to give them a hoozle up to fit 26mm tube scope and have my recently re-aquired (thanks @Mathias ) Nickel Supra 4x36 mounted loosely in them to see how it looks, quite happy![]()
Will send them off to be anodised or powder coated gloss black again as they've turned gold after years of carry in the elements, have seen a few of these Parker Hale rings do this. Interesting when I had the action out of the stock today I noticed it has stamped under the barrel " C&B 1986" the barrel is a Douglas premium and has Douglas Premium Cal 243 stamped in the usual location so was obviously a rebarrel at some stage. Does the "C&B 1986" have any significance? Hopefully get some dies etc sorted this week and be able to shoot it. Might pick up some federal blue box (the test of any rifle..) tommorow and see how she goes
