Seventy percent of the best-of-the-best originated in Southern Rhodesia.

The British know a lot about the .275 (7-57) ballistics after the 2nd Anglo Boer war

Impressive workmanship and dedication to detail is outstanding.

An amazing piece of work. While I personally prefer something a bit more traditional with polished steel in a fine piece of wood, I can certainly appreciate the spectacular craftsmanship that went into this rifle.

In the 1950s I went to boarding school in Nainital, in the Kumaon district, where Jim Corbett lived and hunted man eating tigers and leopards. He was a living legend and his book Maneaters of Kumaon was required reading at the school, and a great pleasure. He described tigers as gentlemen, and was himself a gentleman, loved by the common man in an age where the British treated us Indians with disdain. The British shot tigers like partridges, one complaining that they only got 6 that day, compared to 9 the previous day. I must say, though, it was soon after independence when all the school teachers were British, and they were very humane and good teachers.

Great hunter

The original is more beautiful, strangely enough.

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.

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.

I have both The Perfect Shot and the pocket edition. Indispensable.

What a man, what a life, wow. I love his books and sure wouldn't mind adding his rifle/s to my collection.

That's a fare cry from my x-bolt....

Very enjoyable and well done! Having been fortunate enough to have hunted with Buzz I don't believe there is anyone better. Many of the non-hunters don't realize the strict quotas enforced in Africa.

A wonderful work of art right down to the broken tooth on the tiger on the butt plate.

Absolutely Top Drawer Gentlemen unbelievably Excellent Craftsmanship

two questions for buzz, thinking long term, say 20, 30 years from now, how will you keep the Dande area "wild" if you have 5000 people which surely is also a growing population? Secondly, if you clear up all snares in your area, is anything at all done on the Mozambique side, so that wildlife numbers in the greater area increase?

How about releasing an adorable rifle that all the fans of big game readers can afford Jim did not buy that gun for ungodly money if he had he would have bought a more well known double for far more and we all know it he bought it because it was reliable and much cheaper

Precision, long range is shooting, not hunting.

Another lovely chat

Awesome

So good

🤔 Hi

Wow, amazing. I just want to see the Sir Jim Corbetts rifles.

I have little doubt I will ever get to Africa.. But I do want that book. Perfect Shot

No entendí nada pero mire el video porque algo entiendo de armas y mecánica armamentista, y creo que el sistema Máuser fue,sigue,y seguirá por muchos años . Esos SI QUE FUERON VERDADEROS GIGANTES. PEDRO Y PABLO MAUSER.❤

I have the book Maneaters of kumaon my dad got this book in the middle 50s in high school I got it in th mid 70s from my dad still have it. Great read.

"Cartridges of the World" describes it as the best cartridge bolt gun available for the big game hunter. I don't have personal experience with it but from what I have read, I can easily believe it. I wouldn't try to beat the pros at their own game.

Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

A pleasant discussion between two excellent brand representatives - both Rigby and Field Ethos are at the forefront of their respective lanes!

A very interesting interview! But where and how can we obtain the book? Chris B.

Many Americans n I suppose others here n there around the world. Can definitely relate.." Love of the Hunting Fishing Shooting " Kept a whole bunch of us out of Trouble we likely would fall into..

I have seen the Magazine mentioned but havent picked one up,THAT will change. I will however Toss it if any Hypemoor Crap in it. That includes Hype on PRCs n other +÷=×moores.. 😉😁 Am beyond sick of reading articles that over mention them. I dont mind John Doe mentioning I used a Hypemoor n this or that Load.. I do mind its the greatest thing cartridge since white sliced store bought bread..

What a wonderful interview! The essence of sportsmanship! Well done!

Pls mention the rifle calibre and model which the two gentlemen were holding

What a great talk guys, also good to see Buzz with proper footwear lol

Nice guns but it's like reading magazine articles about Sports Cars I'll never be able to afford. I'm too old to be wasting the time I have left.

Stori in hindi langwej

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.

What a graceful serious MAN, respecting all the nature and all the members of human beeings around. Without any fear, warm-harted, well trained, gently modesty ... Unforgettable SIR Jim Corbett. RIP in our hearts ! We bow ...

Just wow !!

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.

Greetings from Australia...nice vid and all but I have to ask...in SO many stalking vids I see one rifle shared amongst a group of people...why? Here in Oz there would be as much chance of sharing your rifle as sharing your wife / husband / girlfriend / boyfriend! Surely these people are not so clumsy / stupid that they can't be trusted to bring along and use their own firearm? I know that this showcases the release of a new rifle but all these stalking vids are the same...one bloke carrying the rifle and handing over to the shooter when the time comes to let a round go. Not sure what anyone else thinks but to me it's a bit insulting really.

He is remembered by many as a helpful and kind man...

Always a great fan of sir Jim Corbett and Kenneth Anderson

I love it

The lead ban is just absolutely stupid . It is all about control .We have to stop this BS

Remember you can have the biggest gun fastest car. It matters who’s operating the machine

Have a Jim Corbett sprite in the face of evil
