If money were no object, what would be your ultimate hog setup?

I want an RPG, but am having a hard time finding one. For now, it remains the JP LRP 07 with the Night Force and night vision equipment.

I have a AAC 300 blackout with a YHM 30 cal can. Only thing I'd add would be some thermal optics.

Sako 25-06 with Leupold 4-12x50 VXR (illuminated reticle) and Wicked Hog Light. Unfortunately, it's a hog virgin (so far), but I'm trying again this week. Two shots, two deer this winter (me & grandson). I have both the Wicked and XLR250 lights. The Wicked is a bit brighter but both will light up a tree line well over 100 yards away good enough to pick your spot on the animal.

I'm definitely going to have to get one of those lights. I usually shoot a .223 AR or .308 bolt rifle for hogs but I've been thinking about a .25-06.

I think an AR10 or FN SCAR in .308 is just about the ultimate hog gun. Put a Thermal or NV on top and you could cause some DJones style carnage.

The 458 is a great hog gun. I like the 300 gr TTSX and the 405 gr jsp. Its great in the brush. I have shot several hogs through some pretty thick stuff. This is my second 458. I have a 16" carbine and this 12.5" pistol. I use the pistol more. There is almost no velocity loss with the pistol.

Add a 'can and the weight will be north of, well...ridiculous. I really should get it threaded, though.

my current rig, also have a POF 6.8 with N750 installed:   I use an L3 Thermal-Eye X150 thermal monocular for spotting... but my ultimate rig would be a 60hz high resolution thermal scope and the thermal monocular for spotting
