    As per the title i am putting my RPA Thumbhole Hunter in .243 cal up for sale. I bought this rifle only a few months ago, but i am in the middle of a serious shuffle of guns, and need to sacrifice one to make room for the others.

    I intend to sell/advertise this rifle for the next 5-6 weeks only (Until first week of August). If the rifle is not sold or not sold for what it is worth then i will remove the advert, scrap my plans, and keep it. This is not a forced sale but more so a sale to help finance my plan to change out my other firearms.

    The rifle is approx. 18 months old and in immaculate condition. It was bought brand new by a friend who, due to an accident, was unable to use the rifle. It was stored for a time until he decided he would not get to use it, and to sell. I bought it from him and between his use, and mine there is a grand total of 50 rounds gone through it. All zeroing, and testing shots with a thorough cleaning between shots.

    There is no expense spared on this rifle or the equipment on it. I have listed everything in as much detail as possible. The rifle alone is £3,700 (€4,300) new from RPA. Along with the Sightron SIII SS scope (£800 / €930), Badger Ordnance rings (€160), Ase Utra Jet-Z compact mod (€365), Harris swivel/lockable bipod (£129 / €150) the rifle is unmatched in terms of quality, and performance. She is a 1:10 twist and shoots everything from 58gr up to 100 gr rounds. She will one hole the popular branded 58, 80 an 95 grain rounds, and ragged hole with the cheaper brands in 100 gr.

    Below is a detailed description of each piece of equipment, along with links where possible, and pictures of the entire kit. I will not be separating anything so please do not ask. Ideally i'd be looking for someone doing a sub, but details can be arranged if someone is genuinely interested and needs to go through the full application process.

    As it sits this rifle, with all the features, and equipment, retails at €5,905 new. I am looking for €3,395. That is a saving of €2,500 so i will not accept offers or anything other than the asking price.


    Thanks for looking.
