Rem 760, is that the pump action carbine? I took a boar with one of those once.

12 games pump with slugs works well to, depending on the ranges. I love that old discontinued Ruger 44, but had on jam up on me boar hunting. Only time in my life it gave me trouble, and I suspect it was ammo. 300 gr handloads - I think they might might have been government.

The Remington pump in 35 Whelen is excellent for hog hunting.

I loaned my 760 to a friend, he says a boar charged at him, galoop, galoop, galoop, galoop, and he bore down on it & fired. Bang! Galoop, galoop, tumble tumble tumble until it ended up at his feet. Dead.

I’ve since rebarreled it to 22” in .308 & added a scope. More genteel.
