You got that right!!!!

I use a 30-30 most of the time, but I have used the following very efficiently:
.243
7MM-08
.270
300 WinMag
AK47

Back in the Day this was my weapon of choice.

anyone know of a good place to hunt hogs/predators? i hunt fort hood and there are just too many people stealing stands and feeders. being in the military i dont have the kinda money to keep replacing this stuff

This is my dedicated hog gun but I'll throw rocks if I have to, hate them damn hogs.

.408 Sheytac

12ga with 00 buckshot to meet that criteria. It's all about the amount of lead you can chunk into a herd.

How far out can you down a hog with 00 buckshot?

AR15 in 6.8SPC.

what ever you happen to have in your hand when you see one...

.50 cal. you wont have to worry about them running off, but ammo is a little expensive

Hunted on a south Texas ranch when the owner let (begged, actually)us hunt using his top drive at night. My son had his 300 Winmag, his friend had a 270, and I had my AK. They each got a hog, and I got two hogs and a coyote. The next day, we came up on a dozen hanging around a feeder. My son handed me his 300, took my AK, and got three. PS: for the naysayers, I have taken deer with the AK. Just a thought.

I took a deer with an SKS back in '98 and was very impressed by it. Cant wait to get one with my AR in 6.8 spc

30.06

i have a sagia in 308 nice cabine with scope with lighted crosshairs and a laser on side for close up shots and a eight round mag great rifle and not much out there a 308 won,t handle with good shooting , if you won,t to go after them with a ar in 223 just make good neck and behind th ear shots and you will get your pork . shot placement is always key i carry a little more cause my 44 year old eyes are not as perfect as they used to be

The 6.8 has 80% of the stopping power a .308 has with only 20% the recoil. Very hard to beat in a semi auto configuration.
Ammo is about a buck a piece with good bullets.

I love my bolt guns, and I have a warm place in my heart for the black rifles, but shooting pigs is just fun with a lever gun.

My old Marlin 336 in .35 Remington packs a wallup, even on the old tough ones.

I'd love to find an old M1 Garand for the same purpose. The 30.06 has been a choice round for a lot of years for good reason.

I've had several 'dedicated' hog guns and coyote guns and whatever. I finally decided to dedicate my time and sight-in efforts at knowing ONE gun inside and out. I settled on a .243 because I still have yet to find anything it can't kill efficiently! So there's my answer on caliber. Now action-wise, I'd love to have a Remington autoloader. I'm not the biggest fan of the AR platform for hunting because they're heavy in anything other than mouse caliber and not really suited to me for ergonomic reasons.

If you're somewhat new to hunting, my best advice is to get a rifle that will do everything you need, and adapt it to what you do. There are so many options for scope mounts and accessories for even the most basic rifle nowadays, you just choose what you like and go to town!

.350 Remington Magnum.

AK 47 Cheap gun, cheap ammo and can get muddy or bloody any time

Nice to see there are others that use an AK. Heck, mine are more accurate than the Mini 30 I ended up getting rid of.

good ol lever action 30-30...theyve got knockdown power and relativly quick follow up shots.

3006 or 3 1/2 inch 00 buck

44 Mag in a Lever Action

Very good on deer out to 150 yards

Ruger 77/44 Supressed by SRT. Is a 44 mag rifle that is quieter than a pellet gun, giving you multiple shot opportunities.
