Gun Watch Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 Parker Hale 801 £350 12 gauge Shotgun Private Seller Used - Excellent Condition Calvert Green, Buckinghamshire Over and Under, 3/4 Choke, 1/4 Choke, 27" barrels Description Parker Hale '801' 12 bore over and under. These guns were made in the Winchester Olin-Kodensha plant in the 1980s and are excellent quality. It features the Miroku-designed superposed action that was used for the Winchester 101XTR models, Nikko/Shadow guns and several others. This gun is equally at home on game or sporting clays, or as a posh pigeon gun. I've even shot geese with it in Orkney. However, as I use 20 bores for 99% of my shooting, this gun has had less than 500 cartridges through it in the 10 years I've had it. It has been 100% reliable in that time, but is surplus to requirements. Some very minor marks overall but looking great for it's age. The stock is nicely proportioned with a semi-pistol grip and fitted with a kick-eez recoil pad. The chequering is still sharp and there is no loss of blueing. It's choked US Improved Modified (top) and Improved Cylinder (bottom) which equates to UK 3/4 and 1/4. It has a hold-open toplever and auto safety which incorporates the barrel selector. The barrels have a ventilated top rib, bead sight and mechanical ejectors. The action is machine-engraved with rose and scroll bouquets. I'll include a slab of decent game cartridges in the price. The seller of this gun doesn't appear to be a Pigeon Watch member, to contact them please use the details on Gun Watch.
