Our stuff arrived a couple days ago, and I got to the taxi today to open crates, one for me and one for my boy. Everything was well wrapped and protected. Everything looked good, only issue was some delam on my oryx horns, no big really, that's what Super Glue was made for.:rolleyes::eek: Skulls were all nice and clean and white, good enough to bring most of the shipment home since the only mounts we are having done are my eland, and one of the two red hartebeest for my boy. Garth at Fidalgo Taxidermy, said everything looked real good and well done, so thanks to Caspers Taxidermy in Namibia for doing a good job on dip and pack and cleaning and handling. Also a big thanks to Safari Specialty Importers, (SSI) for their fine job of making sure everything got here allright with minimal worries for me. They kept me well updated and kept me far away from USFWS that I ran slightly afoul of last time, LOL.:whistle::whistle::whistle::rolleyes::eek::eek::D, so again, thanks much to SSI! It will of course be some time before I get the eland mount home, but I expected that.
 
Congrats on getting the stuff home!
 
Great to hear! Can't wait to see the finished product!

You have the wrong person. I have no idea what you are talking about..

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...
Behind the scenes of taking that perfect picture.....

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.
