A 338 mag of some kind is the next logical pick.

Next on my list is a BFR revolver in 45-70. Since you already have a 45-70 rifle, why not a hand canon?

Not that I know of but if there is, the brass and ammo would be so hard to find and expensive you probably wouldnt want it anyway.

If your into levers , how about a browing BLR in .358win or a mariln in .450marlin or the good ol 444? Both guns, I believe, are currently in production.

Your probrably right on the cost of ammo 4 the .375, plus im not goin to africa or anything like that. I would prolly just shoot hogs with it...

I think you have a few good hog, bear and deer guns in your collection already. I would use the 45/70 for brush hunting and the 270 for longer ranges of course. However if you want another good brushgun look out for a marlin 1894 in 44mag. I had one for a while and it was cheap to shoot and didnt kick too much ,also held 10rds.
Took it to e.Texas once and droppped two good size hogs w/ it.
