I was happy with a few improvements over my last but since need to work on a few things. If all goes well maybe I can have one as a door prize at the AH DSC dinner. I know I can have an AH special visor give away

I create an armature with different materials- wire, foam etc, then use sculpting clay over the armature to create the detail. A silicone/fiberglass mold is made of the sculpture which next produces a wax of the piece. You can make additional slight modifications in the wax but mostly I try to get the piece looking back as good as the clay. The wax piece is next coated with a slurry mixture of basically sand/plaster and the molten bronze is poured in, melting the wax and leaving the bronze. I have a foundry do the metal work for me.

How much time time did you spend on it?

My part- probably 15 hrs on this one. Not sure how many hrs the foundry has in making mold, pouring wax, slurry coating and metal work. I'm sure more than the 15 hrs I put in.

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.
