Bob MavinRe: parker hale safari rifle questionsG'day ThomasTo check the twist rate. Use your cleaning rod with a tight patch, with a bit of tape on the rod mark the rod at the end of the barrel and a line on the top further up the rod about 20" to tell one rotation, then mark it again and measure between the two marks. Most 308's are 1:10" or 12". I use 168gn A-max they're my favourite pill. Can't help you with the other two questions. Cheers Bob |

Nathan FosterRe: parker hale safari rifle questionsHi Thomas, the Safari is a straight K98 so yes, you can fit a Timney trigger.I cannot remember the twist rate now but it will be one of the two as Bob said and will shoot the usual .308 bullets. Try tight patching it. A farmer up the road has put one aside for me also. The barrel and stock are poked, the action looks good. Can't afford it just yet but it will be a good platform to add to my lot at some stage. |
