I am interested in one and only one trade for this rifle. A Ruger Redhawk stainless revolver, 4.2" barrel in .45 Colt/.45ACP with the additional cash to bring the value up to the rifle's cost. Average value from TrueGunValue website as the determining source for the revolver.

I am not going to shoot a bunch of crappy/shaky/blurry photos of the rifle. It is new in the Ruger box. If you don't understand what that means, look it up versus assaulting me with ignorant questions. If you need to see what one looks like, look up Joseph Von Benedict's Backcountry Hunting podcast where he waxes eloquently for 65 minutes about it while fondling one. Lipseys also did an unveiling podcast on them. Lipseys ran these rifles as one of their special batches with Ruger early in this year. At the time they came out, there were 250 of the rifle in each cartridge (9.3x62 & .35 Whelen) manufactured.

Now that Ruger has decided to commit suicide by shutting down production of 2/3s of their SKUs going into another communist gun grabber period (when firearm sales set new records), these rifles (like all M77s) are not being manufactured. For at least 1-2 years, there will be no more of these made, and who knows when/if Ruger will ever make them again now.

I am selling this because I have taxidermy to pay for from my trip to Namibia.

I will not ship to a communist People's Republic such as NY, CA, IL, MD, CT, etc..

$1700 shipped to the lower remaining free states after your funds clear the bank. Check, USPS MO, Venmo, Zelle. No PayPal since they hate and fight against the 2nd Amendment.
 
To the "gentleman" from the People's Republic of MD -

After you post a few times, and attempt to sell a few things, then criticize my attitude.

I do not want to be besieged with the normal tidal wave of questions like:

"Is it new?"

"How is the trigger?"

" Does it come with the trigger lock?"

"Which stock does it have?"

"Is this the one with the 23" barrel?"

"Would you be interested in (fill in the blank) in trade?"

"Does it chamber well?"

"What kind of groups does it shoot?"

Those who have sentient cranial activity, recognize the value & want to buy will look. Those worried about their hurt feelings won't. That is the point.
 
I’ve only sold a hundred or so firearms online so I wouldn’t have any experience dealing with stupid questions or shipping dozens of guns to states that you aren’t willing to. I can state for a fact that not post pictures and limiting potential customers will hinder your sale.

This forum has enough problems with scammers, to have contributing members try to sell merchandise without a picture which would half way prove you actually have it.

Just my 2 cents.

This is a rifle that I would have been interested in buying. But, no picture along with pissy attitude is a "no sale" for me.
 
Rifle is SOLD PENDING FUNDS

I have not received a single e-mail from AfricaHunting.com about any of the traffic on this classified ad. Not sure what is going wacko in the technical realm regarding this.

Gentlemen - Nevada Smith was shown the rifle via live video call this afternoon. The buyer got my attention, and proof of my credentials, as appropriate. The same could have been provided to Doug Hamilton if he had only asked. His loss.

Many thanks to Three Jacks and AZDave for defending my honor vs. the pearl clutchers & naysayers. What some call a "pissy attitude" was earned by the idiotic tire kickers here on the board. There is no requirement for me to subject myself to that treatment. The candorous manner in which I posted self-sorted the tire kickers from the man who recognized the hen's tooth and stuck his paw out for it.

Curmudgeonly - absolutely! Stemming from a zero defect profession - yes!

Waste of my time posting pictures of a new in box rifle - just not necessary.

Also unnecessary are the "polite police" from non-free states (MD & WA) criticizing my post with snarky comments about frank/up front/candorous verbiage. I never claimed to be Mr. Rodgers and I am all out of sweaters. If you don't like Cavalryman candor, please just go on down the classified listings and spend your money elsewhere vs. trying to defecate on my posting with your negative opinions. We call that Blue Falcon behavior in the military.

My approach sold the rifle in less than 24 hours, without a dozen unnecessary questions. The bonus was the old timers that vouched for my forthright ethics in how I conduct business with members on the board. Again, thank you Three Jacks and AZDave.

Amen about the tire kickers!

My favorite are the ones that ask umpteen questions and then want to haggle price and then……. “Let me ask the wife”

I’ve literally ignored tire kickers just for their behavior on other people’s listings.

I wonder how a conversation on phone would go.....

We had a one or two minute talk then switched to a video chat (Google Meet) and talked for about one hour. And yes, he showed me the rifle.

A video conference is wonderful for this kind of transaction; "show & tell," plus much more efficient and timely than using DMs.
 
I wonder if anyone learned anything from this thread?
