New Westley Richards 470NE on order, who wants to hear about it?

Wanted to report that we returned to Westley Richards a few weeks ago for stock fitting and once again had a marvelous experience. I was a little less dazed and overwhelmed this time and managed to take some more photos. I thought I would share some in case some of you are interested.....
 
Trigger, flirting with my wife as usual, LOL. Can't say I blame him, I think she's my greatest trophy.....

Tables with assorted bits and pieces of wonderful WR memorabilia, including actions, barrels, engraving stamps that were used for pamphlets, etc.

The people at WR really are very friendly . I was lucky to be shown around by Simon Clode and Chris Soyza some years ago . And there is nothing like flying over to the UK to watch progress on a double rifle being built just for you . One of life’s real joys .

Their customer service is superb; this is an experience I heartily recommend to anyone who is interested....
 
He had this 404 Jeffery in the white and ready for final engraving....... I took the plunge. Again, LOL.

I will have the 470NE double and the 404J bolt rifle, and I figure that's a pretty solid African DG battery. I think I'll stand pat for a while.....

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
