Hello, all. You can call me Petey. New to AH, but have been doing a lot of searches through the forums.

Mostly, I'm a bird hunter (waterfowl and upland), and prefer side by sides. Also a wingshooting instructor through the Illinois DNR for their Youth and Women's Wingshooting Program.

I've become obsessed with going to Africa to hunt. The idea was originally planted by an ex-girlfriend. Now, I think I drive my wife crazy talking about it. Planning on a PG hunt in a few years (gotta save up the funds), but also want to return later for buffalo, and maybe other DG.

Thanks to you all for everything you share. It is quite informative.

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.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
