Congrats - Nice bull!
 
No bull, I agree with everyone else!! However, I'll cut you some slack, please include the rest of the story in the very near future.

Taken with a Winchester Model 70 in .375 H&H Magnum, using 300 gr. Woodleigh Weldcore PP bullets. 4 shots, placed as quickly as possible in the boiler room.

Congratulations! A fine looking buff!
As mentioned, it would be nice to see how the Woodleighs looked after the damage if you managed to keep them?
 
Nice bull, well done Arizonajake. As a matter of interest, what did your PH carry?
 
Did you recover any of the woodleigh protected point bullets? I’ll be taking some with me to Zimbabwe next week.
@375Fox what will you be hunting here? And what rifle choice? I hope you have a wonderful trip, there have been some great hunts so far this year.

I was only able to recover 1 out of 4 bullets fired. The bullet was found on the far shoulder, completely mangled. The other 3 passed through. Unfortunately I could not get a good focus with my camera lens.

As mentioned earlier, I could not get good pictures of the one bullet which remained in the buff. However, they did the job.

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
