Elephant rifle

[Altitude sickness]

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…

 

[Sourdough]

Will be fun to see if it gives Customs a moment of pause thinking it might be real.

 

[Altitude sickness]

it has amazing detail. But only has the texture Bell and Carlson put on the CZ American stock

 

[Sideshow]

Lol so how did you get stamped on.....well I got confused and reached of the hippo instead of me rifle

 

[Altitude sickness]

It’s a hydrographics. Film dipped. Then many matte clear coatings to protect it

[HankBuck]

Unique for sure, assume it is also a durable finish ?

 

[Lance Hopper]

I want it! Who did this, and do you know if they can change the tint?

 

[Flewis]

That sure is ugly! I love it!

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.

Beautiful workmanship! Did you do this yourself or is their a company you sent the rifle to for the work?

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!

@Altitude sickness, what is that mount you are using for the Trijicon?

 

[Altitude sickness]

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
