Default RE: Alpine firearms

The rifle looks like it is made by Parker-Hale, which was a birmingham rifle company that produced mid priced sporting rifles up untill early 90's. Ican't see the action on the rifle in the pic but P-Hs normally had a Mauser 98 action. I think yours would have been made for export ,P-H made rifles for other more expensive makers such as Dicksons and Rigby who then stamped thier name on it. Parker-Hales have always been "hard working" rifles and although not the fanciest they will last for years I've had many in .243, .270. ,.308 and 222.
Hope this is of some help.
