What's Your Favorite Hog Gun?

Mine is either a .243 or a .223 . I like to try for shot placement rather than knockdown power. I rarely have a pig run further than 10ft when I make a headshot.

 

You're right, shot placement is the most important in any firearm situation. Shooting large calibers and hitting something in the foot doesn't work very well. Most any caliber works well when placed in the right spot. A .22 rim fire has put alot meat on the table.

 

PS-90

 

I have shot many here in Fl with 7mm 08.

 

If you are a newbie how do you find a place to hunt hogs in Florida?

 

AR in 6.8 SPC does a fine job.

 

My favorite would be a semi-automatic .308 Winchester rifle.

 

The new .308 AR10 build. 2A Xanthos receiver with VSeven BCG and handguard. Added a BSF carbon fiber barrel with Trijicon thermal and suppressor. Same weight as my 300 BLK below. 6.5# without the optic

 

Where I live you can shot them in the front yard.

 

Ruger 44 Mag, Carbine

 

I hunt with several different rifles but I think I like the 450'Bushmaster the best for hogs.

 

For hogs? 6.8 or 458 socom would be the first two I'd consider. The 458 is definitely purpose driven, but amazing on hogs within 200 yards. The 6.8 is great on hogs but you can also stretch it out quite a ways.

 

Another vote for 6.8 spc in an AR with thermal .
Bought a 450 Bushmaster upper but haven’t got the subsonic loads for suppressor worked out yet.
