I use and recommend Sportmens (SIAI). My new trapgun is insured for REPLACEMENT cost. Since the gun is a current production gun, no appraisal was required. They (SIAI) know trapshooting and the policy they sold me knows the gun leaves the safe and goes shooting.
HSLDS - Maybe there is a carrier who would insure an $11,000.00 gun without knowing the details of the gun, but I would be suspicious and I would want to know what is in the fine print. Target shotguns do not stay at home in a safe. Just try getting your money out of one of those blanket policies if you ever have to make a claim.
So Tommy67, I live in Delaware, State Farm has all my insurance including firearms but they did not want anything to do with my new trapgun. State Farm ran like a bunny as soon as they found out that the new gun would go to trapshoots, stay in hotels, go on airplanes, be in the trunk, be in the back seat, be in a gun rack - etc, etc. What did you tell them? Are you insured for replacement costs?
