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

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

I read an older thread that mentioned you having some 9.3x64 brass. Do you still have some? I am looking for 100 pcs, maybe 200.
A wonderful trip to Hungary with a very special friend !
