ROYAL Weapons of INDIA This is the .275 Rigby-Mauser of Jim Corbett. Still I do not know where this gun is today. Jim Corbett tells about the time he purchased and the first hunt with this rifle in his book "The Temple Tiger" the hunt did not go on as planed as the man Jim sent to get his big rifle found it locked in the suitcase so Jim decides to shot the tiger with this rifle. But when he pulled the trigger the gun did not fire, when Jim tried to reload the tiger heard the sound and ran away. Then Jim realised his mistake, The rifle was a double trigger and he had to squeeze the trigger a bit harder when it comes to a rest.
Mmmmmm, nice
