Buff/Croc/Hippo hunt-What rifle?

In my dreams in the next 2-3 years I want a Buff/croc hunt.Love to tag a hippo as well.

As far as weaponry needed mutiple concerns arise.You wanna a real "club" like a Big Double to do the Buff and maybe the hippo, but you need a "rapier" aka precise surgical rifle(preferably with optics) for the croc.

Whatcha gonna hunt 'em all with?

Most of my big bores(375,416,458) field accuracy with proper support is maybe closer to 2 inchand somewhat less on a great day--Don't have a MOA big Bore in the group.I would want a tackdriver to punch the croc, not much room to screw up there.

If you use a 416 you gotta get closer to the croc--
Sure don't wanna screw up and let the croc get into the water--the options get ugly then--

Maybe carry the big Double + a Sauer 202 switch barrel 375 H&H/300. You could swap for the 300 barrel in the field for accuracy work on a croc--HMMM!!!

Maybe find that 416 that shoots one MOA??

Or just a 450/400 Double with a qd scope and get closer or what???

Suggestions for the one gun dual "club" and "rapier" dilemma anyone??

What would other members suggest??

Is there one rifle to take here to get the Buff AND croc job done???
