I had the opportunity to see the Rigby elephant hide engraved double rifle in Nashville at the SCI convention.
I couldn’t quite afford that one. So I had my CZ 550 Bell and Carlson stock hydro dipped with elephant hide print.

Now I need to find an elephant hunt

That dip/coating looks like it has a textured feel to it! Amazing…
 
Will be fun to see if it gives Customs a moment of pause thinking it might be real.
 
it has amazing detail. But only has the texture Bell and Carlson put on the CZ American stock
 
Lol so how did you get stamped on.....well I got confused and reached of the hippo instead of me rifle:LOL:
 
Pretty cool looking!
 
Unique for sure, assume it is also a durable finish ?
 
Another one, by Rigby:
 
Lance, it was $150 all of these hydrographics companies are not equal. The prep is very important. And then it’s very durable.

You asked about the tint. My pictures don’t show the true tint very well.

The color has a brown over grey color. Like an elephant that has dirt on it. I’ll post a picture of the film itself.
they can also dip in a figured wood film.

That. Is. Cool.

I have a couple synthetics I may give that a whirl on! Including this B&C. I think there will be a lot of copy cats. :-). Subscribed for who you used!

RR314 that is the same color my B&C stock started as.

Rock Slinger the QD mount is from American Hunting Rifles. From the suggestion of Mark Biggerstaff

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?

You might have edited your post on the PH in the Bubye. I know the PH and is a wonderful person and a fmaily man and runs a succesful business in Zim and just doesn't want the attention that the internet offers, the ugly kind.

Hello,

Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.

Thank you for your time,

Andrew
