I have an article in a 1990 edition of Australian Shooters Journal on the PH .404. Reading it find that the author didn't want to wait around for the intermittently produced African model so he purchased a factory PH ,404 barrel and screwed it into a Mod 81 Classic action. The stock on the classic looks a lot nicer with a straight comb on the butt and without the schnabnel fore end. Happy to provide a copy if anyone is interested.

Interesting as I was SURE the Parker Hale Model 81 WAS available in .404 Jeffery. I remember a model, available in .375 H&H, .404, and .458 Win Mag. I had a go at one in .404. AND was sure it was a Model 81 (from memory). Yet I think when I had a look at a comprehensive online resource, different models were listed for the .404. The rifles I remember had rounded forends, plainish stocks but built for the three larger chamberings.
