This book about Rigby is the story of colonial adventure of the world's most famous big-game hunters and their rifles. In the first chapters the authors give us an overview of the history of Rigby as well as a chapter on the technical details of Rigby’s rifles, pistols and shotguns and the ammo that is used in them. The Rigby company is the oldest British gun company in existence today (now based in America) and its guns go all the way back to the flint lock era of the 1700s. Then we have a series of well-illustrated biographies of famous Rigby rifles owners such as Jim Corbett the famous tiger hunter, Walter Dalrymple Maintland Bell of ivory hunting fame and a huge customer of Rigby’s, Field Marshal Mannerheim (of Finland) who fought Russians and Germans a like but found enough time to shoot his Rigby at tiger and argali, and the Maharaja of Udiapur of India who engaged an army of beaters to shoot his tigers with, yes you guessed it Rigby double rifles.

The book is extensively illustrated with photos of early and modern rifles as well as drawings and many historical photos of hunters in the field. A book that provides insight into the people, adventures, and Rigby firearms over more than two centuries.
