A 308 bushpig is also a popular choice for nz bush hunting.

I've considered the 45-70 briefly. Much as I'm addicted to recoil, I have plenty stuff that can kick but few that are light on recoil. Other than recoil therapy, what can the 45-70 offer me locally that the 30-30 can not accomplish? Would the 30-30 be enough gun for local species within, say, 150m?
