OK thankyou to all of you who contributed, 1000 model it is!!! But yes, not for one moment did I think I had a bad rifle. Thats why I purchased it and it is in almost new condition. Im not even sure if apart from proofing its even be fired in anger. $650 Australian. As I said before I can understand why Parker Hale with a mauser 98 Commercial actions go so cheap. Really I just dont get it.

Oh and FYI I intend to mount an Aimpoint 9000L with 2 MOA dot on it as that will more suit the type Deer of hunting I do. Im not a person that shoots them from 200 metres away. Im not that good a shot. I stalk Sambar in heavy bush so most of my shooting is done roughly 15 to 60 metres away.

But 1 last question, the action, is there any way to tell if its Santa Barbara or as Ive heard some suggest Zastava?

Cheers
