As a dedicated bush hunter, here's my opinion on bush guns... whatever gun you use the most is the best rifle to use for bush hunting. When the shots are close and need to be made quick the most important thing, without exception, is that you are extremely familiar with your gun.
IMO a dedicated "bush gun" only makes sense if it is to be your main rifle, if you don't hunt bush the majority of the time then ensuring your main rifle is not extremely long, overly heavy, or wearing too much magnification is a better plan.
For the hunter that pretty much only hunts thick timber a 45-70 would make an excellent main rifle.

Man it's great to hear that they're shaping up, the guide guns are much more accessible to the average guy than most of their competition. Still, for what you pay for one you sure don't want to have to work the gun over for burrs haha
