Guys
Just a quick question if I may please
I’m sure I’ve seen on a YouTube channel that back in the day Rhodesia parks service ordered a bunch of the above rifles from the uk ??
Im sure one of the PHs was carrying one and mentioned it in the video I think it was a T I A one
Cheers

Interesting question, I may have read that some Africa Parks services ordered Parker Hale ( and other European rifles).
Can you share a link to the video regarding Rhodesia Park Services rifles?

There is a few pics in book and online of parks guys during Rhodesia days carrying them. Was none left in the armoury of one of the big parks offices that I got to see in Zim a few years ago.

Thanks for that
It’s one of those things there probably aren’t many surviving ones left around these days
I’m keeping my eyes out for one though as I just think it would be a cool rifle to pick up
