Perfect Rifle for Eland and Lion

I'll be using my .450/400 Rigby barrels for lion next year. It will be topped with SwarovskZ6i 1.7-10X scope. I will also use it to shoot plains game bait. .500 NE for buffalo and/or hippo bait.
 
I would recumbent the 286 g norma oryx in your 9.3x62, I have shot a number of large plains game with it and it performs perfectly.
cape eland, projectile was recovered on the off side shoulder and weight was 279 gr original weight 286g. and I would imagine they would be ideal for lion, quick initial expansions and shock with good penetration.

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
