Looking for my wife a new rifle for hunting hogs. Any suggestions would like to stay away from the AR style rifles.

I just bought an SKS for $279 FROM Cabelas for hog hunting

lever gun!

x2 on the SKS

I have a Marlin 1894ss 44mag. in like new cond. with nice leather sling. $550.00 Located in Waco

I would love to have a remington model 750 carbine in 308. believe its perfect for pig poppin.

I would get her a remington 700 in either 260 or 7-08

I have a savage 110 in 270 i will sell u for $275.

No , No, No, ... You guys have it all wrong. Go all out, Tikka stainless .243, Nikon Prostaff scope, 5 boxes Hornady 100 gr. shells, grab a nice guncase for it, and a cleaning kit as well.

This way, after the wife uses it ONCE, it will be ALL yours!

Let me refraise my question. I was more interested in Make Model Caliber and Accuracy. I was thinking about a mini 14 but have read alot of bad comments on the accuracy. I am still thinking about a 223, but would consider other calibers. If I am going to have a gun accuracy is extremely important. I just read on the forum about the mini 30 with a 3.5 in group at 100yds. IMHO that is not accurate enough. I like to drive tacks in their ear. I do not like to shoot at them I like to have precision bullet placement.

Browning bar any calibre they make it in
Cdnninvestments.com $699

Weatherby vangaurd. Comes with 2 stocks. Youth and adult. If she is small the youth make it more comfortable for her. Caliber is not that important if she shoots them in the ear. My wife shoots a 243 with 80 grain bullets. The triger is adjustable and ours will stack at a hundred.

Saw my buddy take down a good sized Hog at 285 yds with a .243, 58gr. just saying.

I love the .25-06. If you aren't a short action snob it's an extremely versatile round that's a lot of fun to shoot and hits hard enough for anything up to (and including depending on who you ask) elk and moose. I second the Weatherby suggestion above, those are great guns with a great action.

Every hog I've shot with my Browning A-Bolt in 270 has dropped in their tracks! Don't know if recoil from a 270 is too much for your wife, if so Rem 700 in 223 would be great, and as mentioned above in 25-06.

AK with a red dot

Winchester 94, cheap ammo, easy to find, good for defense purpose and SASS, low recoil, good investment.

That new Mossberg MVP in .223 looks cool. I just ordered one.

Ruger 77 stainless .270win with either nikon or leupold 3-9x40

DONE

at the store in Fort Worth??? i want one

My wife just got a new Remington 700 .243 with a 3x9x40 scope.. She paid right around $450 for it.. Very accurate gun. Shoots 1 inch groups at 150 yards..

These sound like two very good suggestions to me. The only problems I'd have with an SKS is that they're a bit heavy.

I shoot a Tikka T3 in 7mm08 and 150gn handloads.it is very light recoil and extreme accurate. I have ATN nightvision on mine but sure with a good day scope she would be happy.

Ive been using a Winchester medel 94 in 44 gag for heavy brush and close up. And a worked over Mini 30 from Accuracy Systems with a bull barel trigger job basically the works, for longer range and when my wife comes along to shoot. Here is their site http://www.accuracysystemsinc.com/index.php

How about a CZ 527 carbine in 7.62x39 at 5 1/2 lbs equipped with a scope and mounts you should be able to keep it under 7 lbs. The trajectory will limit you to shots of 200 yds. or less but for hogs I don't see it as an issue.
