new hog gun

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.

Great little guns, with sweet single set trigger. I like the 223 American version but either caliber would work well.

I shoot as many or more hogs with my favorite truck gun, as anything else. Marlin 1894 in 357mag. Recoil in is is about the same as a 223

I bought a cheap Mossberg Maverick .270 last fall. I get about 3/4" groups at 100 yrds with a Bushnell Banner 4-12 x 40 scope. Rifle, scope, 1 box Remington core lokt 130 gr ammo, cheap hard case... UNDER $360 out the door. First hunt after sighting in dropped a 280 lb boar at about 160 yards. It's plenty of gun but won't take your wife's shoulder off. My brother got a Mossberg 4 x 4 with the muzzle break and that helps with the recoil too.

what typ of action does she like to shoot????

like to buy my wife 50bmg lol

get her a tikka and a good scope then when she gets tired of it use the action to make you a nice custom

Any gun that is centerfire and that fits her will be fine. My other half kills hogs on a weekly basis with a Rossi .223 . Its all about shot placement and being comfortable with the gun.

^^^^^ What he said !!

All of these would definitely be successful on a hog hunt. I now use a .30-06 for just about everything. But the best hog gun I've every used where long shots wern't an issue is a 12ga shotgun with slugs. For longer shots, you can't beat a Marlin .45-75 to throw some serious lead at the pigs.(Oh, out to about 125/150 yards, I'd say)

357 lever

for a bolt gun id stay under .270/7m-08 those or .243 or (.257wby if you wana spend some money)

If it was me id get her a 22-250 i dont care what anyone say they got serious pop with minimum recoil...and fun to shoot

ar

.243 with 100 grain bullets. Will drop hogs, deer, and coyotes without hurting her shoulder or your wallet. Get her a rifle that fits her well. No need for the weight of a heavy barrel varmint rifle and no need from the extra recoil kick potentiated from a super light and, or poorly fitted rifle. Something along the lines of a used Savage 110 .243 with 3-9 scope will keep your freezer filled and not empty your pocket too much. Goodluck

ruger mini 30 very acurate with hornady rounds

243 Caliber 90-100gr bullets.
Alot of Rifle brands to choose from ,,sorta like choosing a pickup ,, just get the one that suits you. (or your Wife).

Howa makes a youth model 7mm-08 that is a tack driver that would probably be a good fit for your wife. I bought one for my wife a few years back, now I use it more than she does.

how about a 338 rum hahaha

The Tikka is a good idea.
It's available in a .223 8 twist.
will shoot the 223 heavy bullets.

Remington 700 in a .204 they are tack drivers!
