????Next Gun????
 

I have a .22, .243, .270, .50 cal muzzleloader, 45-70 Gov't.


What to get next..? Kinda wanting somethin big with an assload of knock-down power like a .375 or somthin.

RE: ????Next Gun????
 

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

RE: ????Next Gun????
 

Great topic but it makes me wonder how bad the economy really is LOL.:D

.338 federal, 35 whelen? Mabye a 500s&w revolver or a slug gun?

RE: ????Next Gun????
 

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

RE: ????Next Gun????
 

.300 Win Mag or .300 WSM

RE: ????Next Gun????
 

Do they make a 375 that is lever action?????

RE: ????Next Gun????
 

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.

I have the Marlin Guide gun in 45-70...


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...

RE: ????Next Gun????
 

That's right, you don't need nothing else!

RE: ????Next Gun????
 

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.

RE: ????Next Gun????
 

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

RE: ????Next Gun????
 

Get a Ruger Alaskian in .375 Ruger.

RE: ????Next Gun????
 

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.

RE: ????Next Gun????
 

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

RE: ????Next Gun????
 

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??? ;)

RE: ????Next Gun????
 

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.

RE: ????Next Gun????
 

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.

RE: ????Next Gun????
 

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...
