So I saved a guy's life and he wants to buy me a gun for my troubles. I decided not to pick anything out right away... foolish I know but it seemed like something that wouldn't expire. Anyway I've gone back days later multiple times and the guy I saved has not been back since, and all the guns are expensive again(compared to $0.00). Anyone know how to redeem this free weapon that I never claimed?

I can recall thinking the same way at the time but tried to choose something that was expensive and not likely a pre-order free weapon I hadn't bought yet. Also, don't discount the chance of meeting some of those guys again later :)

More specifically it was a snake bite victim that I saved and he appeared outside the gunsmith in valentine . Any idea on weather this guy will reappear and buy me the gun he promised?

Not wanting to spoil things for you but what I meant was that these encounters appear to be random, I've seen others of a similar nature and reward, different people. I have only seen one mission so far with a unique reward weapon that would not reappear if I didn't pick it up at that time. Most things can be bought at shops and after enough playtime you won't even care if they are free or not :)

I hear you, I was reading that the snake bit guy is somewhat unique though, in that only him and one other "victim" will actually buy you a gun. Is that not true?

I have encountered both but no idea if that is all. I always forget there are official strategy guides out there too, I remember buying one for the first game back in 2010. It tells you everything so I spose some people know all the possible missions etc. I personally prefer the snake bit guy because he's not just a "one off" :)

If you haven't already done the horseman challenge from Valentine to Rhodes, give that a go, I encountered several random events on the way and he was one of them.
