Looking for a good brush gun

[Grizzly73]

I'm looking for input on my next rifle purchase. I'm leaning towards a lever action for quick cycling of the action. It would be used to hunt moose in dense brush and around swampy areas. I don't really care about recoil as i have a .338 already.

if you don't care about recoil....and why should you :?: .....get a BLR in 450 Marlin :shock:

 

[pupzit]

If you could ever find one, a Model 71 Winchester .348 cal. Othewise I would take a .358 Winchester in which ever lever gun suits you best.

X2 As fond as I am of levers.... the Jerkamatic is fast and accurate... put a reddot on one and your in business. :wink:

The eight shoot Garand rifle has the most gentle recoil of any 30-06 I ever shoot. Would be an exellent brush gun, when quick and accurate follow up shoots are needed.

Another good choice for a brush gun, would be a short barrel 12 gauge shoot gun with slugs.

My thick stuff rifle is a Win 94 Trapper in 45LC. Loads are water qenched 325gr FN cast slugs loaded to 1550fps. Will drop anything inside 150yds.

Penetration testing has shown that this slug is very hard to stop. At 35yds, 7" of dry phone book and three water filled milk jugs. NO BULLET.

[snowhunter]

Marlin 1894 in .44 magnum and 240 grain bullets should also be a good choice for a brush gun.

 

[Ont Shooter]

Might be a touch light for moose but a Ruger 44 carbine light and short.
It would work out to 100 yards or so.

My favorite brush gun is a Remington Mohawk in 350 Rem. mag.
I don't need fast cycling as one shot has usually done it for me so far :mrgreen:
