So sorry for the loss of your friend Mike. Though I did not know him, I will raise a glass in his honor.......

There was a one hour show broadcast here in the states about the incident Wayne referred to. I believe the show was called "I Survived" and was on The Discovery Channel. (I'll look it up) The ordeal Alistair and his friends and family went through was terrifying to say the least. Alistair must have been one tough man.

Strangely enough I just got sent this by a mate...

So sorry to hear, and my sincere condolences to you Mike and to Alistair Gellatly's family.

This has been a terrible year, way too many death. I remember seeing that show, but didn't know who he was then.

He died in 2015...
 
My bad Mike, didn't see the date, just your recent post. I need to pay more attention to the dates.

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
