What Is The BEST Brush Gun? (I TEST THEM ALL !!!)

The Yankee Marshal recommends three essential rifle types for practical purposes: a bolt-action or lever-action rifle for hunting (chambered in calibers like 30-30 or 30-06), a shotgun for small game hunting and home defense, and a 'battle gun' like an AK-47 or AR-15 for range fun and defense. He emphasizes the importance of owning these three distinct firearms.

This video compares the energy output of a .44 Magnum and a .30-30 Winchester at the muzzle and 100 yards, using handloaded ammunition. The .30-30 Winchester demonstrated a higher muzzle energy and comparable energy at 100 yards to the .44 Magnum, suggesting limitations for the .44 Magnum at longer hunting ranges.

This video discusses the increasing acceptance of straight-wall cartridges for hunting in various states, moving away from traditional slug-only regulations. It highlights specific calibers now permitted, such as .44 Magnum, .357 Magnum, .45 Long Colt, and newer options like .450 Bushmaster and .360 Buckhammer. The shift aims to broaden hunting accessibility for individuals sensitive to recoil or with physical limitations.

This video from GUNBROS, featuring expert instructor Jarod, defines the 'brush gun' as a highly maneuverable firearm optimized for short-distance engagements, typically under 50 yards, and ideal for hunting in dense brush. Jarod clarifies common misconceptions about bullet deflection and discusses traditional calibers like .45-70 and .30-30, along with suitable sighting systems like red dots and peep sights.

This video provides an expert-level assessment of the .35 Remington cartridge's performance as a brush gun, specifically testing its ability to penetrate obstacles like briars, sticks, and simulated trees. The host, demonstrating authoritative knowledge of ballistics, uses a Henry Side Gate Loader with Hornady LeverEvolution FTX ammunition to evaluate bullet stability and terminal performance. The testing reveals significant limitations of the FTX bullet when encountering dense brush and wood, leading to keyholing and a critique of its energy transfer for hunting medium game.

This guide explores ten top lever action rifles for 2025, highlighting their strengths for hunting and collecting. It covers iconic models like the Winchester Model 94 in .30-30 Winchester, powerful options such as the Marlin Model 1895 Dark and Henry All-Weather in .45-70 Government, and modern adaptations like the Browning BLR with detachable magazines.
