Parker Hale 303 ?

[lead head]

Hello To All

Went to the gun show today and picked up a Parker Hale 303 in unbelievable mint condition. Didn't realize Parker Hale did these conversions, rebarreled with a Parker Hale barrel, and some of the nicest wood if seen on a 303. Can anyone shed some light on what I may have here?
Thanks

How about these?

Yes Darkwater that is it, but it has a Bavarian type cheekpiece like a Brno Lux with a drop comb

Fantastic gun, fantastic caliber. If it is identical to my rifle, it is the Parker Hale sporterized Lee Enfield... AKA, Parker Hale .303 Sporter. Its a Lee Enfield MkIII action with a nice monte carlo stock and a Parker Hale barrel. I think you'll find them a bit of a collector's item - nice find. I love mine, its my primary deer rifle.

Did someone remove the comb/cheek piece? The stock looks like the European drop type stock.Maybe it's the camera angle?Harold

Hello
It has a Bavarian type cheekpiece like a Brno Lux, there is a drop comb. Can it be a odd ball from Parker Hale?
