The 300 is pretty bad (not in the pic). It was damaged when someone left it too close to a wood stove. The other one has some pretty deep gouges in it, you just can't see them in the pic.

If I were to actually use these rifles, then I would just go synthetic/composite. I have no intention of using either though. I have several other rifles I use for hunting. These rifles I am keeping for sentimental reason only. They remind me of my youth, tromping around the mountains with my father and my uncle.

Parker Hale in an English manufacture. They went under quite some time ago. They use Mauser actions, and were known for great accuracy.
