Saw this old thread being read.

Decided to make a new response using Karl's criteria.

Out of my existing rifles, I would use my .404 Jeffery. In the Mauser M03 with several detachable magazines. The 410 gr FMJ would penetrate well and the rifle is quite handy.

Otherwise a .450 or .458 bolt action of some description.
