Marlin model 336 .35 Remington Same gun I take when I'll be hunting in the thick stuff with limited range shots. Open sights of course. Mine's an old one; circa 1950's, back when American built quality hunting rifles.
Eh...wot?

For stand hunting in heavy brush is the same thing i hunt long range with a 7mm rem mag model 700 i can always pick out a hole and thread a 7mm bullet through it . I hunt with the same gun, same model and caliber. The last brush gun I shot a deer with was a scoped Remington 11-87 12 gauge with a rifled slug barrel using Lightfield slugs. That deer turned to go and I got off three shots as quickly and accurately as I could. The deer gave no indication of being hit. I found blood and the deer not far beyond it. I would have thought two twelve gauge slugs in the boiler room would have thrown that deer for a loop.

Savage 99 .308 lever action with open sights or Rem 870 12ga in open sights. Doing deer drives either of those guns is deadly for me.

Savage 99 lever 308-gun of choice for bushmen in the North for many years.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I don't shoot through brush. But I guess anything of an appropriate caliber for your intended game along with some form of open sights might qualify as a "Brush" or close range hunting rifle.

264win mag. Learned real fast that big, slow bullets deflect more than fast and small. No disrespect meant,but that's disputable.I would much prefer my 45/70 in brush conditions over my .257 Roberts.405 gr. vs.117 gr.
