I have a Midland rifle chambered to 7mm rem mag. Basically, it is a British mauser, so any commercial mauser mount(s) should fit. The holes on mine accept 6-48 screws. BNP is British Nitro Proof. When Parker Hale stopped producing its firearm line, Midland ceased production too. Midland seems to be to Parker Hale, what Tikka is to Sako. I heard Parker Hale brought in Santa Barbara actions from Spain, FN, and Yugoslavia to complete some of its orders. Midland was purchased by Parker Hale after WW2, and produced rifles into the early 90's.
