318 Westley Richards in a Winchester 1895

[Boxlock]

I have a Winchester/Miroku 1895 in 30/06 and was thinking of making it into a safari style rifle after seeing a original Winchester 1895 in 405Win with rear sight as 1 standing 2 folding and front sight with flip over ivory bead , this was not recent mods as this rifle came out of India so I was thinking new calibre of 318 Westley Richards or maybe 9.3x62? any one have any ideas on this to add or advice? thanks

Cheers
Steve

That would be a very cool set to have, a M95 Win in .405Win & .318WR .

Bit harder to get all the .318 components but 9.3x62 or even the great .338/06 (.318WR in new dress) in that lever would be cool.

I was surprised to see many old school photos of DG from Lions, Rhino to Elephant that look to be shot with a 95Win in I suspect .405Win ?

Maybe a 35Win but not sure on the power rating of that caliber, it does look interesting like the 33WCF which I have bits for.
