They came back and told me that auto would only cover contents to $2400 or something like that so they were moving to my homeowners policy as a stolen goods claim. I use USAA for both auto and homeowners insurance so it was pretty seamless...- Crash87

Thanks! I think I will stay with the 338. It always worked well for me. My backup rifle they stole was a pre-salt Browning Hi-Power bolt action in 308 Norma Mag. Hard to get that one replaced, was a great shooter and caliber.- Crash87

Thanks for the offer, appreciate the thought! Funny thing is they did not take hunting clothes or sleeping bags/underquilt. SG does a good job on things i have gotten there and Vortex offered me 50% MSRP to replace the scope. Good people and companies out there!- Crash87
