Thread: Are Parker Hale's good for anything these days?

I would keep it more or less original ( your 1200TX ) , the M85 is quite a bit different than the std PH action .

the only upgrade I would look at is maybe a nice pitcanny mounting rail , like maybe NEAR , or a McMillan stock , ala A2 .

The Parker Hales are an aquired test , and due to them being out of production for almost 25 yrs , both parts and accessories to fit are hard to find etc , not the easiest of rifles to customise .


I have seen a 1200TX in a McMillan A2 stock , and it looked very nice , had a a colour like the Canadains use , ie 70% OD & 30 % grey molded in camo swirl .
