Rifle for Cape Buffalo

I got a CZ 550 European stock in .416 Rigby for Buffalo. I doubt elephant or rhino will ever be on the list. Hippo maybe. Tally quick-detach rings with a Leupold 1.5 x 5 scope. I load 400 gr TSX and 400 gr Barnes solids. Both shoot to roughly the same POI at 100. Off a sled it easily does 1 MOA. Offhand on sticks it's manageable. Prone, it's not fun to shoot. IIRC, I think I'm loading 98 gr of H4831 SC for the TSX and 102 gr for the solids.

An old Browning Safari in .375 H&H is the backup gun, also with TSX.
