A 375 lever gun..... 375 JDJ (444 Marlin necked down). You would have to rebarrel a Marlin to get it but there it is.

The only 375 that I know of in a levelgun would be a 375Win.
The were made back in the 80's and are basically a modern 38-55... not even close to being in the same class as 375 H&H.

I was thinking 300 mag.....but sure anything in the .300, 338, 375 mag range sound about right.

Do you have a shotgun? Seriously, I too have a 45-70 guide gun and loaded properly itcan kill big bears, lions, deer, hogsand even an elephant.

It sounds like you already have enough powerful rifles, so why not look into a powerful handgun? i.e. 454, 44 mag etc.. or how about an AR-15 or AK47???

ORIGINAL: okboarhunter

Kinda wanting somethin big with an assload of knock-down power
Depending on the platform you have for the .45-70 you already have that want. You have all the bases covered so its basically whatYOU like and what feels good to YOU. Find the platform then see what it's availble in.

That's pretty much what I was thinking. You can knock down anything you want with it. If you just want to spend some money you can go with a .375 H&H at around $65 a box for shells.

How about just upgradeing scopes on your rifles?? OR buying some ammo and practise, practise, practise!

Handloads in the 45/70 is plenty for all of NA...
