Well since you like your 870 so much, why not get a Remington 760/ 7600 in
30/06 carbine model (18” barrel) to scope. Same action and safety and everything you’re used to on the 870. Has detachable mag, accurate with a scope, not the best triggers but they do make kits for them. That’s what I see being best for what you painted as your hunting style.
If you’re set on the big bores, my vote be a 45/70.
