@Esoteric Junkie beautiful rifle and the complete collection of accessories shows attention to detail.
Did you purchase the collection complete or have to piece it together?

No one in their right mind would "restore" a rifle like this one. Any "restoration" work would destroy the value.

You are uniformed with the process he used. He removed the oil soaking from the wood, oil soaked dirt from the metal and retained the original finish. Brought out amazing finish. Stll an old rifle.

Old world beauty. Hold on to that one. It’s a keeper for sure.
Do you also have the enbloc clips for the rifle ? Otherwise the weapon unfortunately becomes a single shot.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
