Parker Hale M82

[PeterN]

I have a Parker Hale 1200TX. Not looking to sell, but I was curious as to what they sell for nowadays. Looking around various dealer and sales sites, I see several 1200TX rifles for sale at prices from £225 to £400. I was at a dealers today and saw what I thought was a M82. It had the magazine and floorplate, a 20x42 scope fitted and the PH5E backsight and front sight in a bag to go with it. The stock was in reasonable condition with the spacers fitted at the butt end. The bolt handle had the elongated knob and was electro pencilled with the rifle serial number. Just out of curiosity, as I have not seen any for sale, are these priced as the 1200TX or worth more? I saw an M86 priced at £650.
Regards

Hi, I suggest you arrange a visit to Norman Clark. I'm sure Norman will be pleased to help (having had a similar discussion with Norman on this subject). The price for a real M82 has increased significantly over the last few years. Good luck finding one - they are out there, and they're still very good.
