Went to the shooting range today(had not been there for a long time) to try some rifles I bought recently;
- a Brno ZKK 601 .222, mint condition, made 1968, shot like a charm. Till the 80's, early 90's Brno's where very cheap for the quality (you could buy 3 or 4 Brno's for the price of 1 top German bolt). My cousin took his new .243 CZ (the 'Brno todays standards') sniper; the set trigger malfunctioned 18 times out of 20!
-a Capuis double ejector rifle,SxS,9.3x74R, mint condition, made 1978, very accurate, no problems.
- the Parker-Hale 404,made in the 70's, the subject of this thread. Very accurate with vintage RWS ammo, smooth as silk. The new Kahles scope (a steel tube 2.5x20) my gunmaker/friend mounted shed his horizontal post after 2! shots. For a scope by the worlds oldest maker a rather poor result. I am getting rather fed up with the 'quality' of todays products!
