Re: John Rigby 3of25 The NEW "Original" "Corbett" 98 .275 Rigby

Quote:

Gun 3 of 25 may look like a modest antique magazine rifle but it is in fact a highly accurate replica of the most famous sporting rifle produced in history. The original rifle, a .275 Rigby magazine rifle, was awarded to Jim Corbett for killing the man-eating tigress of Champawat. It then features many times in his much-loved memoirs, Man-Eaters of Kumaon.

Well, the painting looks like trouble. Neither hammer is back, and the tiger is ready to pounce.

Tight spot!
