Teddy’s double was a gift from the English Aristocracy of the day. Not sure he had much say in the matter .Your title is DG only but your question is just the age old three gun battery for anything from birds to bull elepants. This takes care of that far better than so many others here. If you don't want to include birds just omit the shotgun.
Me, I'd go something similar to what Teddy Roosevelt did in 1910. I'm reading African Game Trails right now and what he took with these three is amazing.
12 gauge shotgun
30-06
500/450 (Teddy's choice) or 416 (my choice)
