30/30 lever action I don't hardly shoot below the neck on deer or hogs and I'm in to close up hunting so it works fine for me.

30/30 lever action.....Marlin or Winchester model 94. No need to go any larger caliber than that with hogs. Use good ammo and it will bring down any hog with average shot placement. A head shot is ideal, but neck, spine, lungs and even liver will get the job done. Don't let the myths fool you, it will penetrate the shield on boar hogs if you cant take a head shot for some reason. Just use good ammo, I prefer Winchester super x 150 grain. Stay away from Federal. The government and the 30/30 ammo.
The marlin action and trigger mechanism is more reliable, it can take abuse, dirt, and lack of cleaning better than the Winchester. You can also mount a scope more easily on the marlin if you ever wanted to.
The Winchester model 94 is lighter, and in my opinion it shoulders, aims, and shoots more naturally and more accurately than the marlin. I hold this belief, even though I was started on a marlin as a kid, and a Marlin is what I shoot most of the time. Its action and trigger mechanism are plenty reliable with occasional cleaning.
Both are built sturdy and would will make excellent clubs. Sorry, i'm thinking about the federals again......haha.

M1 carbine hands down the best hog gun invented. Shoots a 30 Cal. 110 grain bullet, almost no recoil and won't shoot through a hog that's over 80 lbs. It's short and if you'll put a synthetic stock on it the weight is about 5 lbs. or less. Had one for about 15 years and killed a ton of hogs with it.

.30 carbine are cool but hard to find ammo for sometimes. You are also stuck with just a few bullets types too.
I had a org all numbers non repro that I just treaded. Was a cool gun I just never shot it much.

I'd go with the .44. Just an all around better round. And a lot more options on ammo.

Marlin lever action 30-30, excellent brush gun with plenty of knock down power.

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.
x2!! I'm a big fan of the 45-70! Ol 30-30 lever action has been one of the most used brush guns out there for years and years tho and will lay em down great as well. Shot placement is key with the smaller calibers. Few years back I shot a 255# boar quartering away right before he got in the thick brush and he ran like I never shot him. Ran 150 yards but finally ran out of air with no lungs  |
