Here’s the damage to my Ithaca.

Shawn, I felt bad when you told me what happened to your .410. I'm very glad it all worked out for you.

Ouch

Can you explain the fall? It must have been wicked.

I shot a bird and it went down in a huge boulder field where the dogs couldn’t go...I thought to myself for a minute that I would set the gun down and then go after the bird...but other birds flew into the rock field. I slipped on a rock and fell face first landing on the gun.

I shot two birds with the left non-bent barrel before I hobbled down off the mountain.

I emailed Eastern Insurance. My NRA is due in December, I'll see what they say as well as USAA. Thanks for the tip.

I've fallen too but was lucky enough to save the gun by landing on my face!
Hey but you got birds in spite of it, good going.

I'm sorry, but I have always thought that I could self insure with great safes and safe neighborhoods. So far, I have succeeded. I ended my self insurance with a fireproof (yes, I know that is ridiculous) vault. Some of us who have some substantial collections should consider a vault rather than expensive insurance.

As Craig said, one of the main reasons that I have Eastern insurance is when I am hunting and at shoots, I don't have to worry because the guns are covered. No safe or vault can do that !

That and then there's the travel issue as well, plenty of exposure there. Actually I have never thought the premiums for these products were high at all.
