[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1013771, member: 22069"] I believe the Parker Hale is a post war Mark X commercial mauser. If that is what you have, your action is made with modern steel and is among the more desirable mauser sporter actions. Not a lot has to be done to a mauser in the way of truing. Square up the two receiver faces, square up the bolt face, and lap the locking lugs. Put a good barrel on it and bed it in a decent stock (I would suggest synthetic w/aluminum bedding block or a good laminate) and you will have an excellent hunting rifle. One thing to be aware of with the mausers is that they are not as rigid as some of the tubular actions like the Remington or Savage, which can cause problems if you go with an overly heavy barrel contour. A contour equivalent to a Remington Sendero/varmint contour, or smaller, should be a safe choice. [/QUOTE]
