I need to purchase a rifle dedicated to hog hunting. What do you recommend for relatively short range shots, at night, which will allow for multiple quick shots?

I'm using an AR-10 in .308, hard to beat.

AR-15 in 6.8 spc

AR 10 or AR 15

.50 Beowulf

Had one of those too, ammo just got too tough to acquire.

Ruger Mini 30

It'll shoot 4" at 100, ammo is DIRT cheap, and Ruger now has 20 rd mags. Slap a red dot or a 2x scope on it and blast away...

That's my choice too.

what about a AR-15 .223? would that work for hog? I am looking for something that is going to work for hogs as well as deer.

Everybody is going to say something different

AR

308

22-250 i swear by it now that i have mine. but you could always go with the heat seaking missles.

For something that's affordable and gives you the best chance at multiple shots before they dissapear like smoke in the wind, I think it's the AR-15. The .223 ammo is affordable also. Once you fire that first round, they get gone real quick in every direction so a good caliber, semi-auto is the best route. All of this is of course, just my opinion. (which may not be worth much in this economy).

Mine too.

I was reading up on the 6.8 spc today and that would be a good rifle for sure. My only hold back would be coming up with that much cash for one pig shooter. Tempting but can't afford 'em. That much green buys a good .223 and a whole lot of ammo. I'd really like to fire one of those 6.8's a few times during a hog hunt though. I bet it would put 'em down hard.

Rem.7400 can get 10 shot mags online.Used maybe 375- depending on optics

Z7???

I am thinking of getting a Ruger mini-30.

223 works just as well as other guns IMO

Hell you dont have to break the bank... Just use your shotgun (if you have one) and use a slug barrel and slug-away!

a sks works good for close up action

remington 870 with a patternmaster choke and 00buck!

7mag you dont need multiple shots,,,long as you dont miss
