See what inspired our team of gunmakers and how they made the commemorative .275 Corbett SCI donation rifle in this short film entitled "Jim Corbett; A Rifle's Journey"
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.
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 the tigress of Champawat killed 436 people she holds the Guinness book of records for the most human victims of any known animal. She was shot and killed by Jim Corbett in 1907.
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.
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 ...
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 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.
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.
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.
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🇮🇳
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.
@@wyomarine6341 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.
@@wyomarine6341 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.
Jim corbett Sir was a Greatest Legend Hunter of all Time. A Legend Hunter shoot ang killed Man eaters Tigers with his Rifle with accuracy. 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 🌹🌹🌹
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.
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.
Yes your right Harold Godwinson very foolish so I brought a .458lote that seems to do the job quite well now, no risk having to use a second shot now on a pidgeon.
@@notrophyhuntersallowed4231 I presume you're using solids? Some damn fools have tried soft points and in most cases they're still out there; dead, covered in pidgeon pecks. Serves them right. Bloody fools!
I don't know why this came in my attention that The tiger's in the video seems quite larger than today's tiger ...or Maybe the Kumauni people due to poverty were physically smaller(no offense)...... Or it maybe because back than the tigers had a wast jungle to hunt and now jungle is much smaller; hence the size.. Plz can any expert(Not a rookie) shed some lights and add to my knowledge 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ya right and I suppose your the great white hunter then! It’s always easy to bad mouth people you are not around to defend themselves! I find most people who do this are cowards themselves!
