Hey spike!..I have an Heym 88 PH on layway..it's in 450/400 and I should have it out in a few months. I'm looking for my first safari in two years and wanted to go classic with a double. So...hence the name. I know I could have bought less expensive and used that money for safari..but...I'm hard headed and right now have the opportunity to get a heym. So..I look forward to learning a lot from you guys on how to plan my first safari. When I was a kid...I lived in Ethiopia..saw a lot of stuff. Now ..retired...I want to go back while still in my fifties. Hope this makes since to you guys LOL :confused:

Now you need to get back to Africa and do some lurkingaround in the bushveld. Welcome.
 
Wow..it;s nice to hear from you guys. Right now I'm catching up on a lot of the post. I'm one of those guys that don't like to ask the same question that's been asked a million times...sooo...I'm busy. LOL.

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.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
