Hi EKM,
Well you said it would have to used on the big 5 (I hope you know who is paying for this

). Give me the .416 Rigby....maybe in a magnum mauser action. Good stock, double crossbolts, single leaf express rear, big white dot (sourdough) front. Also a good reliable low powered variable scope in Q.D. bases and rings. Decent stock shape, good recoil pad, fitted to me for length of pull. And I want the rifle in time to put a couple of hundred rounds through it....before the trip!
That's all!
Dave
P.S. Controlled feed only need apply! (If you run out of .416 Rigby's before I get there....I suppose I'd live if all you had was a .458 Lott.

)
