Jim Corbett; A Rifle's Journey

[@mpojr]

I am 73 years old now started reading Jim Corbett when I was 14 and in all those years I have never tired of reading his stories.

[@thebethlehem2852]

He’s the legend we hunters all aspire to become one day, I hunt with a .223 for leopards but never ever a man eater not yet atleast. It’s on the bucket list.

[@mpojr]

@@thebethlehem2852 Jim Corbett said the leopard is the most dangerous cat of all the cats,,l tend to take his word on the subject.

[@paulm.k.8740]

Great man! Recently a Union minister wanted to rename the park. But the Uttarakhand government and a lot of sensible people resisted the idea and thankfully it remains Jim Corbett National Park.

[@ShahzaibFayazz]

Jim Corbett is a legend! Great tribute to him and his legacy!

Nothing compares to reading the shikar stories by Jim Corbett, with his Rigby as a trustworthy companion

Jim Corbett was an amazing man. Single handed going into the jungle to track and kill man eating tigers not just once but multiple times. He killed the man eating tiger of Chumbawhat at point blank range the gunpowder of his shot singeing its fur. The tiger had killed well over 400 people, he must have had nerves of steel.

[@lennarthagen3638]

Not 400 thats BS maybe somewhere between 50 ..100. Im an expert in the field.

[@grahambamford9073]

[@nocommiesallowed7637]

Jim Corbett is one underrated and unsung hero of history.

[@shaynevirts3611]

The attention to detail is absolutely incredible, down to the detail and flushness of the retaining screw. Although this is a rifle I believe it classifies as a true work of art and craftsmanship.

[@gerardosalazar161]

What a beautiful gun! The stock, the metal, the engraving, all working together to create an ageless work of art. Perfection would be to have a pair, the other one a .416 Rigby Express, this one with African fauna in the engraving.

[@malcolmfield6677]

This video made feel even prouder to to be a new owner of a Rigby rifle.

[@CrimeVid]

I read Jim Corbett's works when I was a boy too. Still have much affection in my heart for big game hunting stories,although I haven't read one for years they made a big impression on me.

[@saahilsahara2696]

It is a matter of pride for Jim Corbett that he has come to my country and received so much respect in my country.And I am proud of my country, why I am an Indian🇮🇳

[@YaoiMastah]

Jim Corbett did not come to your country. He was born and raised there.

[@arneldeleon3060]

He considered himself an indian.

Looks like a very high end Mauser action built by Rigby nice job and story

[@paulsimmons5726]

While I'll likely never be able to afford a Rigby, I can certainly appreciate the incredible workmanship that go into creating their rifles. This was an amazing video, thanks! While the 275 Rigby/7x57 Mauser has been a proven round for well over a century in some of the most inhospitable circumstances, it always surprises me that it's not more popular in the US.

[@paulsimmons5726]

@John Irwin - I do understand. Take care!

[@paulsimmons5726]

@wyomarine Well, the best I could do was a Winchester 70 Fwt in 7x57, one of the South Carolina/FN CRF models from about 10 years ago. Great rifle, definitely of European influence.

[@paulsimmons5726]

@wyomarine I see your point and will concede that Euro/metric calibers have never put a dent in the 30 caliber family as far as sales go. I still like my caliber though and realize that without it, the 30-03, 30-06, and everything using those cases as a starting point wouldn't be around as we know them today. And many non-'06 beginning cases began life when they were developed from other European rounds.

[@TheGroundedAviator]

The US has the .270, I'd say that is why.

[@russellking9762]

@wyomarine Europeans may have invented these things…but it was us who perfected them and made them …..kidding…just kidding

[@kvonkirk2340]

Jim didn't enjoy hunting them he did it out of love for his fellow man he preferred to shoot with a camera more than a gun. But he was a great shot with both.

Man-Eaters of Kumaon is a 1944 book written by hunter-naturalist Jim Corbett.[1] It details the experiences that Corbett had in the Kumaon region of India from the 1900s to the 1930s, while hunting man-eating Bengal tigers[2] and Indian leopards.[3] One tiger, for example, was responsible for over 400 human deaths. Man-Eaters of Kumaon is the best known of Corbett's books, and contains 10 stories of tracking and shooting man-eaters in the Indian Himalayas during the early years of the twentieth century. The text also contains incidental information on flora, fauna and village life. Seven of the stories were first published privately as Jungle Stories. The Champawat Tiger was a man-eating tigress which purportedly killed some 200 men and women before being driven out of Nepal. She moved to Champawat district in the state of Uttarakhand in North India, and continued to kill, bringing her total human kills up to 436. She was finally tracked down and killed in 1907.[13] She was known to enter villages, even during daylight, roaring and causing people to flee in panic to their huts.

The legacy of the legendary hunter, so many things an item could witness, if a gun could talk, it would speak of it's previous owners glorious journey, may it be a sniper nicknamed the white death or a hunter who hunted monsters, monsters that brought fear and dread to people, monsters that were binded on their own nature, monsters who's in pain and illness, honoured to die at the hands of a legend, a glorious death for a glorious creature, both wonderful and terrifying.

[@jim5199]

Unfortunately, Rigby is not what it once was and they have made a rifle in this "Corbett" rifle that Jim Corbett wouldn't be seen dead carrying. Its of the world of Montblanc limitless limited edition fountain pens and gazillion dollar Rolls Royce that tend to make one think of an old Checker taxi cab. Some rich Texan or Brit who never set foot in a tigered jungle will hang it with pride on their expensive walls. Ask whatever price you wish, but Rigby's heritage is tied to no-nonsense, bulletproof rifles that exude a quiet elegance, not this fancy pants drek. Ehhhh..... J. C.
