I would, with no doubt, use my scoped 450/400 3 1/4" double rifle.

The bullet, the 400 gr Woodleigh Soft.

My scope is in claw mounts, so it could be on, or off the rifle, depending on the hunting conditions.

There is no other rifle on Planet Earth more suitable to the task.

How do I know.

Because.

That same rifle, IS, for ME, My Medicine Gun for Lion.

Where, ON THE DAY, IT worked PERFECTLY.
