Yeah, a VPN (virtual private network) can set their location anywhere they wantWay too many flags on this one even without the problems with the new picture with the date on it.
It would be quite interesting to see just where his IP pings at if not in the Denver area.

Yeah I agree.Dealing with scammers on other sites, I haven't seen one go to the trouble to change their IP since the only ones that have access to that information are moderators. Most people take the post at face value and either peruse it further or don't even bother.
But as has been mentioned on this thread, there are way too many flags such as, no meaningful post made by the seller, claiming to hunt in a country that hasn't had hunting since 1977, claiming to of hunted elk and bears in Africa. Then the big one for me, the barrel stamp showing a 300 H&H cambering and not a 300 Weatherby. I don't know of a gunsmith who would skip that part of the conversions even if all he had to do was to run a chamber reamer into the chamber and check the headspace when he was finished.
And then there is that he hasn't contacted either me or another member who offered to verify the rifle in person.
I pocket posted. . There is a first for everything. Just edited. Free bump for Kenya in October!The African bear has alluded me my entire hunting life... But I still love my trusty 300 H&W? First question that arose in the dark recesses: Did Winchester offer a 300 weatherby? ??
And don't forget that here in Colorado there is now a 3 day wait before you can pick up the firearm once your background check has cleared.How about this…
@speedfire which FFL are you going to use in the Denver area?
Go ahead and take them the rifle and we can contact them to verify…
Unfortunately trueLots of 300 H&H rifles were reamed (ruined) to 300 weatherby.
Its good to see everyone working together to blunt these scammers!
I think that I'm hearing crickets. Don't think we'll be hearing anything more from old Speedfire.How about this…
