The single most useful rifle I have is a Dakota 76 African in .416 Rigby. It has taken DG at 16 paces and PG out to 200 yards.
At 11 lbs loaded with scope, it's a tad heavy, but with a good sling carries well and groups under an inch.
A PH friend has a 1920's Rigby .470 double, but his preferred backup rifle is a custom .416 Rigby built around a pre-war M98 action with open sights.
I also have a Dakota 76 African in 416 Rigby. With CEB Safari Raptor bullets and 100 grains of RL 22, it is a tack driver. One of the most accurate rifles I own. That rifle and my 500 NE have been my 2 gun Dangerous game battery for the past 3 safaris
