I agree there are less heavy and other mousetraps that are better rifles in so many ways, but on pure build quality and the numbers actually made they are rare. Some models so very few made.
Build Quality.
Accurate, will give a PCP a run for its money.
Ingenious design.
British gun making at its quirky and best.
Factory made not one off customs.
Very low numbers made.
No more will ever be made.
It makes the Air Logics and BSA Centenaries look common.
I still own a Park 92 .177, without the safety catch, and beech light weight stock. I find the trigger more than acceptable. That I wouldn't sell, though they were made in reasonable numbers but still not many.
Again if I had the desposable income I'd buy up as many as I could. The future question will be what size collectors market is there? Where does spring rifle era stop and PCP take over. The Parks are one of the last throws of the spring power plant and equal to the very best of the Theobens. Theobens were done in much higher numbers and starting to regain a premium.
Any Park collector could get away with three examples to cover actions, calibre, finishes, and stocks. Then have that marque covered. Trying to find them is the tricky bit.
