Corbett’s 7mm rifle and other famous gats

I stopped in to visit Rigby today while on a business trip to London. I was able to tour the shop and see the incredible workmanship and skill that goes into these rifles. I was also able to hold Colonel Jim Corbett’s 7mm rifle in my hand. It’s the .275 Rigby that was presented to Corbett in 1907 and which he used to kill the “Man-eater of Kumaon” – the most prolific man-eating tiger in history. What a cool piece of hunting legend! pre64win.com 

I would hate to ask what they would want for that. The barrel looks over long but that be be a camera thing. Steve is a fan of the .275/7X57 as am I.

A story on it.

Spiller’s Parker and Pleissner’s Francotte are still in private hands and used.
