I'm pretty good with the .270 I hunt everything up to Elk with it. I just thought the Marlin would be a better carry on the stalk. Plus I operate the lever much faster than the bolt for that second shot. I also thought that the bullet options above 200 grains would get better penetration on the pigs.
