I have a nice PH custom with a like new recoil pad unlike all the other hard, dried out ones I’ve had. Don’t know how it was stored so long to keep the recoil pad in perfect shape.
Parker Hale identification help!

That’s a 1200C all day. The stock looks very similar to a standard 1200 pattern but I agree it looks to have been refinished. They typically have a very high gloss stock. Could be the forend was reshaped and finished with an ebony tip? That or stock replaced in the past with a similar pattern. Very nice rifle!

If this one here is a 1200, it had iron sights - holes for front sight still visible, as is the dovetail for the rear sight.
From those days, scopes were actually unusual - at least where I grew up in Western Saskatchewan - so the notion of "back-up" is a relatively recent thing - for many years, scopes that were available to buy, by the average person, were not very dependable - usually not trusted - fogging, breaking, etc. - so there was a whole plethora of work around - "see-through" scope mounts, etc. - in case the scope actually worked!

I now have my dad’s Parker hale 300 win mag, but there’s no model number but it doesn’t look anything like what I’ve seen online.
It has a rounded black end on the forestock unlike most I see where it’s like a wedge or chisel, I’m truly stumped. It has “MAG-34336” on the side of the receiver but not much else, also it has a matte or eggshell finish rather than a glossy one, gold trigger.
I’m on my phone so I’ll add some pics later.. maybe just the description will be enough.
What you have is a Parker Hale model 1200C and MAG-34336 is it's serial number.
