I have gone pig hunting the last 2 years. They have been DIY public land spot and stalk hunts.
I took 3 guns with me, not being close to home having back up guns just in case is a good idea. I took a Remington 700 in 270, Remington 870 12 gauge with slugs and a Marlin 336 in 35 Remington.
I have carried the Marlin as my main gun both years. The first year I shot a 90 pound sow. Last year it was more about getting my buddy on a pig as it was his first trip. He got a pig. We saw some more but couldn't get shots. Always a fun couple day trip with the guys.
This year I just added a Marlin 1894G in 45/70. So the shotgun will not stay home.
What guns do you guys like to use for pigs?
For me there is just something about those lever actions I really enjoy
