35 remington in a marlin lever action. Have one with scope want another to throw on the wheeler could have used it the other night. Shot a couple deer and hogs with mine and it lays the rock down on them. Shoot the right bullets you have a 250 300 yard gun if need be.

I had a .17 awhile back that never let me down. One to the ear and it dropped everything I put in the sights. Real cheap to shoot and shoots reallll straight. Mine was a savage forget the model. Bought it used for 200 and I think shells went for around 15 for a box of 50

Thanks for the comments. I was leading toward a marlin 30-30 just because of popularity and cheap ammo. How does the 35rem compare to the 30-30? I plan on keepingbtheniron sights as it will be used primarily for stalk hunting in brush. Thanks

Little more punch in a 35 than a 3030. Little larger bullet just a little more powder. I think it is a vary under rated round. You have something that is good for deer elk etc

Best brush gun for stalking I would say 45-70. That dude will shoot thru a sapling and still kill what ur shooting at. General purpose I use a 308 with 150gr HP Winchester. They work very well on hogs.

22 all day long. If your hunting with dogs and most are scared of gun shots, 22 Cal. In the eye will bring down any size hog. If your not running dogs the bigger the better.

I carry my marlin 45-70 pretty much every where. Recoil isn't bad and it will flat out put down any hog. Ammo is fairly easy to get and fair priced. The marlin guide gun is a compact rifle and won't weigh you down. Some folks I have hunted with call it a major over kill and in some situations it is. But no matter what you know you brought enough gun. |

heck just get you a good gamo pellet gun and them gold pellets! Any gun will do its just up to the shooter to put the bullet where it counts. Im a lever action man, good brush guns, fast cycling, and accurate out to 300 yards with good ammo.

my rifle of choice is a 410 rossy single shot with a true green dot shooting slugs i have not had anything walk from a shot to the dom ..... my first gun was a 410 tell yall what my dad invested in a trigger lock for me when i was young like 8 years old. i killed birds ,rabbits, i even shot my first deer with a 410 slug. so any thing 100 yards are closer thats my gun choice now i know its a shot gun but its better then most rifle in the brush. the group at 100 yards out of 5 shots is 2'' wind is a factor, but thats with hot loads . now 30-30 is for any longer shots . used to shot a 7mag but my shoulders felt like number 2 after a 3 shot group.
