Good morning
Don't get offended if folks kinda are shy about replying to your rifle.
There have been many scammers that have tried to sell snake oil so to speak on this forum. When the first posts from someone is to sell something people it raises red flags.

Tell us something about yourself and a picture of a handwritten note beside the rifle with your name and date will go a ways to helping confirm basic legitimacy.

We are a good group of hunters want to help each other here on AH.

Thank you for clarifying.
My Name is Paul Fisher- I live in Tucson, Arizona.
I am a recent law school graduate, and have been a practicing RN for over 20 years locally.
I used to be a rancher up in Prescott, Arizona from '98-2003.
I have been a long-time hunter (Elk, Deer/Mule and Whitetail, Boar, Turkey, and small game) both with rifles and bows. I stopped bow hunting about 15 years ago due to a back injury. Now I recreationally hunt varmints and such in the Arizona deserts.
I am an avid dog lover and currently have 2 mutt rescues- Cookie is a Rottie Mix and Angel is fox hound/beagle mix-I think...lol

Pictures below are of me teaching my sister and niece how to shoot and a picture of me and my late wife Pat, my 3 babies in my old pool, and Cookie and Angel

Legit- verification- Hand written Note with name and date

Paul, they are looking for something that proves the gun photo wasn't ripped off the web. Throw a calender next to the rifle or note with today's date and take a photo.

That is a different looking African rifle for sure. Leftie African rifles seem to move well. I note you haven't hunted Africa yet but own an African dangerous game rifle built fifteen years ago. Must be an interesting story there! Welcome aboard.

Edit: You posted the photo with note as I was posting this.

Thank you for your interest, My late uncle Bruce was a BIG guy over 6 foot 5/ 250lbs. he was an avid traveler and hunter and a really sweet man. Loved him dearly. He died a year ago, and I inherited the rifle. He had BIG plans to take it to Africa to go hunting. Never made it due to poor health. I'm only 5'10 inches tall and right handed, so I can't use this beauty. Breaks my heart as I was with him through the custom build process. I want someone to purchase it who WILL take it hunting in Africa as it was meant to be. This will honor Uncle Bruce's memory.

Appears we share a few things in common. I am also a widower and dog lover. But I only own one "black gun."

Before you spoke about the physical size of your late uncle I thought maybe judging from the stock proportions it was built for a BIG guy. That wrist/grip area looks enormously long. What is the LOP on stock from trigger to buttpad ? I am not a lefty, but that question is likely to be asked by anyone considering rifle. Looking at the tape measure its hard to tell, but might be close 16 or 17 inches ?
