Ditto pjaln's post. From memory some used Springfield bolts and in .243cal were prone to "surprises".

I think I can remember the rifles built on the Springfield.
Were they sold under the "Midland" name?
Maybe "Midland by Parker Hale", or something like that.
If I remember correctly they were somewhat cheaper than 98 actioned Parker Hale rifles.
I do remember handling one in Robinson's Sports Store in Brisbane back in the early 1980's.
