    Default old bottomland

    Anyone had a gun dipped in the old bottomland pattern? Wondering how close it is to the original Remington ones. Ive got an extra barrel for my sp-10 that id like to have match as well as an old single shot and 870 id like to to as well. I know our two sponsors have it listed, just curious how it looks

    Default old bottomland

    I have 3 guns in the original Bottomland (Remingtons dipped in the 1990s) and 3 guns dipped in original Bottomland with new film. The stuff Remington dipped in was much redder than the newer stuff. The khaki color on the pattern is darker and the brown is redder. The newer film matches fabric/apparel better but there is a difference between the 1990s original Bottomland dip and the 2010s original Bottomland dip.

    10-4, that's what I needed to know, but without the two side by side probably wouldn't notice it?

    You are asking the wrong person that question as I would venture to say he would but most others wouldn't.

    The top pic is a newly dipped gun. The bottom is a factory original from the 90s. The birds are 16' and 17' osceolas.



    As mentioned above, I would be very critical as I once worked for Mossy Oak. I think it would work on your SP-10.

    that looks sharp. I got one dipped by him in nat gear a few years ago. He does a great job.
