Pretty good accuracy.

My Parker Hale 1200 M98 was said to have a Santa Barbara action. Others hjave since claimed it is a Mark X. But when I purchased it, everyone said Santa Barbara.

It is a .30-06 and used to shoot single hole three shot groups at 100 metres. between 5 mm and 12 mm, centre to centre. 180gr Nosler Partitions. Most projectiles shot very well, with three shot groups. The thin barrel heats up quickly after that.

I do shoot foxes for skins and also destruction. My .222 does the first.

Having read the posts and my posts again, I have changed my mind and reckon the classic 7x57/.275 Rigby us a great choice for everything from fox with skin damage, roe deer, and still good for anything medium game.

Spending money on hunting, and not on new firearms is also an excellent option.
