Rifle selection poll (pig gun)

[Krisdude]

a nice 70# bow is the best

I got a .308 saiga and voted .308 AR-10 since that was the closest option.
A 45/70 would be fun but I dont know whats up with Marlin right now.
I stopped pig hunting when the lead ban took effect since I used a .303 and there ain't any non-lead hunting ammo for it.

Favorite pig rifle is the one rifle I own . M77 in .243 .

Favorite bow ? The one on my new .308 pig rifle ! (Father's Day is right around the bend !)

.270 win

 

[sportyg]

I'd have to say 7mm cause that is my goto rifle, my 30-30 would be my fall back. I just like shooting my 7mm more

When I was buying my first rifle I was told that if you are going to own only 1 rifle, 30.06 is the way to go. I still have only one rifle and have killed all of my pigs and deer with it.

I like my Browning BLR .308. Shorter barrel is excellent in the brush and lighter weight for long treks. The .308 round works great for thin skinned big game. I also like its lever action for a quick second shot if needed or if a boar happens to charge after you.

SAIGA .308. Cuz .303 Brit isn't listed

 

[JOE MACK]

None of the above. May favorite hog rifles in the safe are: Browning A-bolt in .325WSM topped with a 4x14 Leopold, a Sako Pro-Hunter in .376 Sako topped with a 1.5 to 4 Burris, a .450 Bushmaster upper on a Mega lower with a 9 round mag and BB, and for giggles a .450/.400 NE 3" using 300gr. Hornady jacketed bullets.

Since handguns weren't in the criteria, I won't go into them.

I shoot a .270. WoW can't believe it didn't get listed. I got 2 of them 1 with a 3X9X40 and 1 with 3X9X50. I shoot everything from dogs to hogs with them.

 

[DuckFever]

I'd vote for a lever action .308 with scope in most cases.

 

[Deleted member 33033]

100gr. G5 Montec broadhead.

The .30-06 is probably the most versatile of the mix with loads from 150gn - 220gn. Anything from .270 on up is more than adequate with proper bullet placement. I've taken pigs with a .270WSM bolt action with 130gn TSX, .308 lever action with 150gn TTSX, .30-06 bolt action with 168gn TTSX and .300 Wby bolt action with 168gn TTSX. I'm gunning to take my next pig at Tejon with my Austin & Halleck 420 inline muzzleloader using .50 cal Barnes 290gn T-EZ sabots on top of 100gn Blackhorn 209. I fully expect to drop it where it stands with that bullet and load.

No ARs in Calif.? Mine is CalLegal with the bullet mag release.

760 Remington pump in 35 Whelen, knocks them flatter then a pancake !

 

[ManCalledHorse]

Well, I didn't see my rifle on the choices. I am going out for the first time this sunday (12-18-2011) with my son. I am taking my 'ol Remington 742 Woodsmaster 30-06 semi-auto. It's a certified Deer taker. If I get one, I'll let you know! If I miss the 1st time, hopefully I can squeeze a 2nd off quick enough. ig-laughing:

 

[BelchFire]

+1 to the 30-06 with 3-9x to answer "What rifle would you use to hunt (fill in the blank) in North America". If you had to just have one, that's the gun to get.

J Y Jones did just that. Search books for One Man One Rifle One Land. He killed one of ever North American game animal with one rifle ..... a 30-06. I have more than one, but 30-06 in 165 gr is all you really need in north america.

 

[dwikkles]

6.8 SPC semi auto

add that to the list.
