Thread: Parker Hale Restoration - Need advice

Cheers for all the advice.

I didn't think to look around for a parker scope base without iron sights. I didnt think they would exist. I'll start looking/ringing around but if you find one Gary then by all means let me know, I'd be super stoked.

Think it makes sense to cut/sand the but end of the rifle to get it flat then shape the sides with a belt sander.

The sling studs - not too sure yet. I really don't want to drill new holes, so I might try the dowel approach.

I could go open sights but want the option of long distance shots too so having the scope is a must for me. My eye sight isn't what it use to be. I'll be really happy once it's all done and I can take it for a walk.
