HOG rifle
I originally wanted an AR until yesterday, on a hunt. One guy had one and a 150-200lb. boar ran across in front of us. He was running after it shooting and it didn't even phase the hog. It wasn't until someone with a 25-06 shot it in the leg and broke it that he finally killed it. Now I want a high cap 308, thinking of G3, cetme, or L1A1. Any comments, the only thing I don't like about them is the weight. What kind of accuracy can I expect. One last thing, can anyone tell me who makes these kinds of rifles?

Hog rifle, try a Marlin Guide gun in 45-70 or 450 Marlin. Fairly small and portable,quick pointing, and enough knock-down and accuracy(under 100 yds) for most anything on four legs.

The .44mag works well on hogs. The Ruger auto mag is a decent hog rifle. I dont really believe a main battle rifle is the way to go for hog hunting. Then again only the hunter knows for sure. My 2 cents [8D]

You might try to hunt them with a handgun. It's more challenging and is a little more of an adrenaline rush. If you want a semi auto try a Desert Eagle in 41 or 44 mag. JM2CW

Do you like the idea of running up on a bunch of hogs with a 6 shooter, I can't hit the broad side of a barn with a pistol. The guide gun appeals to me except that it won't reload as fast. May have to shoot to 200 yards, pistol may not work. Think a 7.62x39 will penetrate a boars shield, anybody?

Any of the Russian Moisan Nagant rifles, carbines, 7.62x54 is hog buster. 0 -
What about a century arms SAR 1, will it penetrate?

The 7.62X39 is much better than the .223 for hog. If you can not shoot and hit with 6 rounds of a .44mag rifle then I suggest the 7.62X39. Hunting is regulated state to state. I do not know of any state that allows more than 10 rounds in the mag or clip for hunting and most only 5. Good luck and practice practice practice. [8D]

Here's an idea. How about the remington model seven in a 7mm-08??? We shoot the ol' South Carolina hogs with 25-06, 270, 300 wsm, and many others, but almost all 25-06 or above. The remington model 7 is light, short, fast,etc. Just a thought, mostly depends on how exactly you hog hunt. If hunting over a corn pile, most any ol' deer rifle will do. If hunting on foot, stalking, or dogs, maybe you want something lighter and more versatile.
Just my .02,

I BOUGHT A 7MAG JUST FOR HOGS. THEY ARE TOUGH ANIMALS. RUGER'A 44 MAG AUTO LOADER WOULD BE NICE FOR A LIGHT BRUSH RIFLE.

Darrell, you mentioned the desire for a high cap .308, then consider either an M1A "bush" or "scout" or an ArmaLite AR10 carbine. Both are quality, lifetime warrenty, made in US, accurate, high cap .308 rifles. The M1A bush w/syn stock weighs no more than any standard hunting rifle, and there are 5,10 and 20 rd mags available. For a more ergonomic platform, the AR10 in a carbine (16" bbl)is easy to move around in cover, well balanced, and one of the most advanced weapon system in the world. Yes, some will say "hell, he's only shooting hogs..", but either of these rifles will do most anything all of your other rifles will do. Both are 1"-1.5" MOA, fun to shoot, accurate enough for hunting. The "scout" or flat-top AR10 allow forward mounting of an Aimpoint or Holo site which are great for CQB or Hog hunting. The AR10 will be harder to get because much of the current production is slotted for shipment to the Mid-East. Yes they are both a little more expensive but you only need one![8D] 0
