vixen,
Around 20-25 years ago a good friend went on a hunt in Alaska, and the two rifles he brought (both customs) were stolen at the Anchorage airport on his way home. He was not only a long-time member of the NRA, but had purchased additional insurance through them.
He said it was like pulling teeth to get paid for maybe half the price of the rifles, but luckily he'd also purchased addition insurance through his local agent, so came out OK.
As others have said, good luck....
