Last time I went hog hunting and I was told that shots could be close I chose to use a carbine 12 Ga slug gun...3-shot....

At close range that thing is absolutely devastating!!!!

I use a Win. mod. 94 chambered in the 375 Big Bore for big hogs..
Stops them in their tracks.

A Marlin Guide Gun in 45-70 should do it

I use a 280 Remington with 175 gr. Nosler Partition handloads. This will cleanly anchor hogs that are big. I own 312 acrres of land and lease another 250. We have an abundance of feral hogs. I have taken as small as ten pounds to one weighing 486 on the butcher's scales. Never had a problem when using the mentioned handload. I have also taken several with a 257 Roberts and 117 gr. Hornady BT Interlock.

My 45-70 or Pump 30-06 would do a great job.
