I received an original copy of this book, complete with the dust jacket, in perfect condition as a Christmas Gift this year. I have read many of Corbett's books, but never this one.

Just finished the book.

Corbett took a few chances in his tiger hunting!! Sometimes going out with only two or three cartridges. Taking an overnight stand in what I call a perfect ambush site for a tiger to seize him.

Needless to say he was fearless and equipped with nerves of fine tempered steel.

He was using both the .275 and a 450/400 in this book.

Myself? I would use my 375 H&H Mauser (25 inch barrel, irons and a 2-1/2X scope) for the mid to long range work. Then my 18 inch barreled 458 Mauser (rear aperture sight) and a good soft for the close work. That is if you could force me into the jungle to look for a man eater!!!
