Christmas '17/New Year '18 holiday project
Sadly, my youngest brother, a brickie who worked hard all his working life, suffered a couple of serious cardiac events in the previous 24 months and is now incapable of walking bush edges and gullies etc. Shifting from the North Shore to the Waikato he asked me to dispose of his rifle and semi-auto shotgun as he didn't want to build another gun safe. He duly delivered them just before Christmas. The more I fondled the Parker Hale 25-06, the more I liked it so I took it for a test fire with the entry-level Nikko Stirling scope that adorned it. Managed a best-group of 22mm (3 shots) with 100gr Rem CL factory ammo so I bought it off him and had Kevin glass bed the action. I then set about to refurbish the stock.
