I got a feed to a story about Scott van Zyl this morning.

I do not even have words for the people speaking ill of him.

Never had the pleasure of meeting him, but I assume he is much like the rest of us: in it for the chase, win or lose. Mostly we win, but Scott threw snake eyes his last trip out. I'm sad for his family, but not for Scott. Lucky bastard went out doing something he loves doing.

I wish I could be as lucky as Scott van Zyl, and die doing something I love doing.
 
Jerome, don't know if you're aware or not, but they killed a few narrow-snouted gators (you folks call them crocodiles) in the neighborhood and are pretty well convinced that's what happened to him after discovering human DNA in their gullets.

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
