I’d like to mount my latest bull on this form.

I need help finding the form or similar.


I think this bull will look good mounted this way. It’s big in the front. Big 3rd’s and nice 4th’s…

Many taxidermist buy a form that is close and the correct dimensions then alter it with a sawsall and electric knives
 
Almost every taxidermy supplier that carries elk forms will have something similar. This is a sneak pedestal form. Nothing custom needed other than mild alterations to fit the skin.
 
Ok so I had to go looking after shooting off my big mouth :LOL:. You might need a slight alteration to tilt the head back but these two are close and already floor pedestals. Also, most wall forms can be easily converted to pedestals. I really like the HQ stuff

Will work on a pedestal but antlers won’t clear on a wall mount. Just wanted to make sure you realize that.
 
It’s probably going to be one like this:

Likely modified to get this:

But more than likely end up like this:

Take a look at research mannikins, they have several pedestal sneaks that are similar to your picture. . . As for sizing and modifications if needed/wanted, that is up to the taxidermist you select.

Getting close.


I this back in an email this afternoon:

“Looks like there has been some alterations to the form we have.

Form = G-535-13

Closed mouth muzzle = G-EM516

Pedestal Ped = LEG-533



Please let us know if you would like to place an order for these items.





Thank you,

Ilda

Research Mannikins, Inc.”


I need help deciphering the codes!
 
They correspond to the form’s number in the catelog-avaialble on internet or a paper version. With that number you can determine direction of turn and sizes available. Most taxidermists will slightly alter a form in some way or another

Hi Joshlee0518 (please let me know if you are fine being addressed like that),

Thought I would drop you a PM. It is super exciting to plan a hunt and we are more than happy to assist you. Have you given any thought yet to which species you would like to take?

What do you hunt usually and which weapons/calibers are you using?

Look forward to swapping experiences and ideas.

Happy hunting - Daniel

Is this rifle sold? If not what is the weight of it and do you know if there is enough difference in diameter between the 35W and the 9.3 to allow for a rebore to a 9.3x62 which is what I am after?
Thanks,
Gary (Just down the road in Springfield)
