Apologies if this is in the wrong place.
There was a thread not so long ago where a member had built his own pedestals using pallets/reclaimed/distressed looking wood and said he could supply the build plans to interested members.
I have searched and searched and looked through the forums but I can't find the thread, does anyone remember the thread and if so can you point me in the right direction please?
 
I forget his member ID. His name is Jody from Pennsylvania I believe. Check with @gizmo , I think he can help you.
 
Here is a pedistal base I made. I stained it and used a flat, clear, paint-on top coat. Ones this size were over $400 to buy. After I had paid for the balance on the mount, I decided to make my own. Reclaimed wood would be nice...just make sure you have a good frame so it does not collapse.

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.
