I have a 1895 that I have had for 20 years. I've shot a number of hogs with it and it has always put them down. Where I hunt hogs a 150 yard shot would be a very long one. I've been very happy with it. I've had no experience with the GBL.
I would go with 1895 GBL
I some time use my Marlin 1894-P 44Mag for Hogs with No Problem @ 75Yd with Hornady Flex tip Ammo.
The 1895 or 1895/GBL will do you just fine.
I like the longer barrel 1895 better. I had the 1895M in .450mag and it is a sweet gun. Tons of power.
I put a receiver peep sight on mine and used it without the insert - just the ring.
A Marlin 336 in either .30-30 Win or .35 Rem is adequate for pigs.
If you just "want" a 1895, make no mistake, it will handle piglets, too!
Without a doubt!
Where I hunt "for" pigs, a rifle needs to be short, lever or semiauto, iron sites and sufficient caliber.
Love my marlin 45-70 gov. Dropped a pissed off and charging nearly 300 pound pig in its tracks just last year.
