I just got the quote back on my gun. I'll post pics when its done. Well never mind. Spikes has suspended manufacturing on their piston uppers due to some BCG issues. So the hunt begins anew.

I use a Ruger 44 mag deer carbine. I love it with the open sights, but i have been thinking of putting a red dot on it... I have to find a picitanny mount for it, and I could use my Eotech...

I can see it now, the pig just goes stiff legged, falls forward and on its side..... lays there a few seconds and then does the dust twister on his side... Hope that wasn't TMI, but man I love to shoot a pig! I use a Ruger No.1 25-06. It's perfection, for me.

Well like I said I really like using a bow but have used rifle during other times....I almost it goes back and forth like hunting the hogs more than deer...almost!!! Took this Big old gnarly Sow with a CZ 550 American -w- Monarch 3-9x50 BDC @ 110yds, Ammo I prefer is the 180 gr WSTSP(old style silver tips). I used the set trigger and drilled the spot/hair I aimed at and she didn't move but 5 or 6 feet, maybe, till her brain(CNS system) informed her she was already dead and then dropped like a sack of dog food.

I dont have this... YET! But i am actively working on it. Saiga 12-12 Gauge. It comes with a 12 round clip and a 50 round drum. How many hogs are you willing to take on in a fight? ALL OF THEM!!!

12 guage slug works pretty good. You have to get a little closer but that's part of the fun. I've also killed them with 000 buck and that's not bad either, kinda messy though.

Seriously looking at one of the day-night combo scopeNV setups from Cabelas on top of the AR and a supressor from that guy in Aransas Pass. Although htat Saiga 12 looks like the Mother of All Slug Guns.

I've only shot one hog with a rifle and it was with my old 722 in 223, that was my first one and around 25 years ago. All the rest have been with a handgun or a bow. I have three I'd like to try since that was my reason for buying them. A Taurus Thunderbolt in 45LC, Rossi Model 92 in 45LC and a 336 Marlin in 35 REM. Maybe this year!
