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.

Rudraprayag is my native village. Jim is still a legend here in rudraprayag and people still hero-worship him. People have their own version of stories about him.

​@@LEEJin-taeNo. Not now. Rudraprayag is a fairly modern place now. Back in the days it was common for a tiger/leopard to be man-eater but now Rudraprayag is well connected with the Roads and have fairly modern amenities. In one of his books, Jim corbett mentioned that it usually take about 5 days to reach Rudraprayag from Hardwar. Not it takes almost 4 hours.

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

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.

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.

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

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 ...

Jim Corbett is one underrated and unsung hero of history.

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

Always a great fan of sir Jim Corbett and Kenneth Anderson

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.

For us Indian's He's an Emotion... Simply legend♥️

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.

Hi from Armenia, Jim Corbett is a really legend

Have read his books multiple times. I never get tired of reading them. Jungle Lore is the book closest to my heart.

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.

It doesn’t get much cooler. Talk about an item that is priceless

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

True artisan works, thank you for sharing. Jim Corbett a true conservationist and great man for his honesty.

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.

A highly skilled, shooting in Jungle THE MAN EATERS was very brave and thrilling. I love and respect the late JIM CORBET Sir. Pray God rest in peace ever. Greatest Man and a Legend 🌹🌹🌹

fantastic and beautiful..bravoo..

Beautiful workmanship ,you should be proud of yourselves.

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.

Thanks very much for sharing this.

One great rifle and what a legacy it carries, it gave much peace to the people who had been at mercy of Old Spot and the Striped Khan .

Legend hunter...I salute him

Amazing workmanship.

Awesome rifle!

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.

Nice video ye rifle or jimm corbett dono legend h

Fantastic

Wonderful video! Thank you Rigby. How satisfying to know there are men today beautifully blending wood and metal to produce such a beautiful rifle that is as capable of taking a man-eater as anything produced one hundred years ago.

I salute John rigby

Marvellous

This legend is a literal hero of thousand lives. If not for him, those man eating apex predators would eat more than what we can imagine.

Sweet.

Lovely piece of stock

The legend!!
