Agree with most on here---the .458 is a great caliber---and depending on stock design, weight of gun, pad, etc..they can be shot quite easily if you are used to bigger calibers..

The .458 Lott has noticeably more power however you typically feel that at both ends..but agree with Big Max, if I was using it to hunt elephant, I would prefer the Lott over the Winchester..plus, as stated, the Lott can shoot both..

Good Luck in your decision..
