I have zero issues carrying my AR-10. 3 point sling and I'm ready to go. Now im not walking all day but I like having it over my 5.56 for knock down power. Call it my workout for the day if you wish.

Daytime around the ranch on the 4wheeler, I carry a Tromix 458 Socom with irons or Ruger SR 1911.
The nighttime belongs to a pair of ARP barreled 6.8x43 ARs, one with N750 and other with Photon 5X.
The 6.8s took 69 or my 72 pigs in 2014.
One of the 6.8s took a 358 pounder in 2013.
Have other guns available but 99 percent of my shooting happens between 60 and 150 yards which is a chipshot for the 6.8

Whatever is closest at the time, usually AR 223

6.8! .308 if I wasn't concerned about the recoil damaging expensive nightvision. .243 scoped bolt gun from a stand during daylight if I was hunting a lone boar.

I like my Mossberg MVP in .223, it's light and dang accurate. Smoked one 2 weeks ago with a 64gr bonded Winchester bullet. Shot behind the shoulder at 80yds. Pass thru and made a downright mess in the process. He ran about 30 yards and piled up.

.270 all day for me

my Winchester .308 does the job. Love the Australian Outback Ammo that I use as well.

Savage Scout Rifle in .308. It's light to carry and does the job.

12g No complaints yet.

I will use my 22 mag for a loner head shot
ar for groups

12 gauge and 1oz fosters on public.
Ruger carbine in 44 mag or my 700 in 308.

Custom build 7mm-08

Blaser R8 Professional Success 9,3x62

I will stand with ya brother...270 win = dead darn piggie!!

anything between a .17hmr and a .308....partial to 7mm-08 and .308 sometimes a .22-250....just got me a new .44 mag Ruger M77...that should be fun, open sights...so many hogs, so little time.

Probably the 30.06 but I've used 17 HMR in the ear all the way up to the 45-70. AR-15 is best for me if there are multiples coming in.

can't go wrong with a mini-30 (7.62x39)

For me I have pretty much settled on the 35 calibers for putting hogs down in a hurry. 350 Rem Mag, 35 Whelen, and the 356 Winchester have all been lights out DRT. Obviously not my first choice for long range pigs but at short to moderate ranges I will choose a 35 of some sort to put them on their butts quick.

.270, .30-.30, .223, .35, .243 ...or whatever else is handy! But usually the .270

I use what I have with me at the time- all bolt action in .22 mag, .223, 6mm, .270, or .280. Either the .22mag or .223 is with me everyday. I never pass up a shot at a hog.

Ran across a deal on a TC 416 rigby. It did the trick. Big boar was running away so he got one in the ham and came out his front shoulder. My daughter said it look like the hog was doing a stoppy. Most of the time it's the DPMS 308

A stoppy?

I have taken more with a Marlin 45-70 than anything else and tend to stay with larger calibers. But have used a 30-06 a couple of times and a 35 Whelen AI with Speer 250Gr Grand Slams of which is a good name for them lol.

My favorite is the Marlin GS 45-70 Government as it is short,light and handy. But I am currently working with a Savage built into a .358 Winchester but as of yet to take a single game animal with the cartridge.

But I will say that I have seen many Hogs taken with many calibers that tear up allot of meat and or blood shot meat and have found that by using certain calibers such as the 45-70 Government and cast bullets you can eat right up to the bullet hole.
