Your ideal "Hawg Gun"

It can be a simple 30-30, AR, AK, nice bolt action...ect. In whatever caliber you want, with whatever optics you want.....money is not an issue.

Go.

Howa talon 204 ruger with a night vis/ day time optic.

This could get interesting.

What ever I have with me.

.270

ar15 in .458socom, vast range of bullets 250gr up to 600gr, Insight Technology IWNS-I2 night sight and bacon frying in a pan!!

AR in 6.8 SPC with someone else buying the ammo.

I have funds put to the side for one of these rigs and I hope that day will come soon.........

GAP-10 7.62mm or G.A. Precision 6.5 CREEDMOOR

My 7.62x39 AR with NV
My .204 AR with NV

i vote for the 270

155 mm howie

Vulcan Chain gun, would be interesting.

If I am specifically going hog hunting, I carry 1 of 2 guns. An AR-10 for normal stand hunting for rapid re-engagement, or a Marlin lever gun in 44 mag for CQB hogs, from like a bow stand or spot and stalk.

FN-FAL. Does it all, with a bang. And AK-like reliability.

I have been particularly happy with a .45-70 Marlin 1895, even more so with night vision, but I think my ideal would be a semi-auto comparable caliber like maybe a .50 Beowulf, Bushmaster .450, or .458 Socom, but I am in no hurry to replace the Marlin. It performs very well. The other guns would just be a bit better.

45-70, 300 grain bullet in a lever gun.

Marlin 1895 in 45-70 will be my next purchase. With a low powered leupold scope one top. Those things just scream hog killer.

I had a 1895 and really liked it, but I was a bit off put by the trajectory and capacity. I sold it after a little research- sighting the gun in 3" high at 100 with 300 gr bullets pushing 1900 fps (pretty stout load) leaves it 8" low at 200 yds.

for close quarters stalking a 12 ga pump loaded with slug backed up by 00 buckshot. treestand 20-30 yards my bow or 44mag pistol. out to 300 yards my 270 WSM.

Works for both hogs and yotes

I love my 6.8. Ammo is high like KC said but it is a great hog round.

300 sav in a model 99 featherweight wearing a 1.5x5 vari x III.
I have one and it will put three pretty stout handloads shooting a 150 grain BT into an inch all day long.
It is about the perfect velocity to make a BT shine, and while it is just a tool, it is a cool tool.

My dream Hog Gun is an AR (either DPMS or LMT) in .308 with a silencer and Jager Pro Thermal vision optics. Laser and flashlight mounted as well.

"What ever I have with me."

X2!!!

.460 model 70... jk
Anything with in reach people think to hard when shooting them its just a pig... not the hulk

I am partial to my R-25 but I just got a BAR longtrac .30-06 that makes a lighter and more potent hunting gun. I love Vortex illuminated reticle scopes for black hogs in the middle of the night.

M249 saw

M249 saw

Ar in 50 Beowulf. Hit em hard!!

.270

ak with a red dot

Waiting on some parts to finish a 7.62x39 upper to play with also...
Have been following ZenArchery's success with his and I have lots of ammo!

Also use a Model 722 punched to .223 wylde for "finesse" shots...LOL!

6.8 SPC unless I'm carrying something else.

RPG

My late 70's Rem 700 .22-.250 took out another one last night. Love that gun.

6.5 Grendel

458 Socom or 6.8 spcII

30 06

I must admit I'm a little tight. 30-30 with 180 gr cast and 10.5 gr Unique makes cheap sausage. Fom

^ yep


OR anything I'm carrying, tey all need to die.

What ever I have available at the time I see Hogs is my hog gun

243 or 308

I said Marlin 1985 guide gun in 45-70 in my earlier post, got one this past weekend. Can't wait to use it.

anything with work to shoot hogs, its not about about what gun you carry its about how well you hunt/shoot

Don't need anything other than that right there. Lightweight, handy, good capacity and rate of fire, plenty of power and range for all reasonable shooting scenarios, and ammo is ubiquitous and reasonably priced. It does not take the weaponary of Seal Team 6 to down a hog...you're not hunting Osama...just a different type of swine. Winchester 94 and Marlin 336 .30-30 excell at this.

However, call me biased or orthodox, but a lever action without wood furniture is as depressing as a classic muscle car with a six cylinder under the hood...

ruger 10/22 or marlin 25m 22mag with my glock 21 on my hip if they get close and thick. Ive dropped more pigs with the 22mag than any other gun I own.

but usually when im in my stand I have some sort of center fire with me.

Sometimes it does take a little more firepower. I can't get close to the ones I'm shooting and still be able to see them in the tall grass.

How far are you needing to shoot them from?

10/22, they die and stink someplace else.

What ever I have on me!! Used this one yesterday morning one two of them. Montana .243.

I can tell you from this pass weekends hunt, that shot placement is the key, no matter whet you hunt with. I shot the biggest boar I have ever seen on hoof Sunday morning with a 45-70 at 30 yards. I hit him in the shoulder quartering towards me, with a 325 grain lever evolution bullet. I saw him buckle to his knees, then he jumped up and ran off. I heard him hit the ground and kick around, waited 20 minutes and went to look for him, I guess he got back up and ran off. I have a buddy who who a 200lber a few weeks ago with a 17hmr between the eyes and it didn't take another step, go figure. In the neck for now on!

i feel kinda stupid now with .44 black powder pistal in the thick stuff.. not recomended

a Big long pointy stick

I enjoy hunting them with my old marlin 30-30 with 2-7x33 leupold scope. does the trick every time.

Suppressed 500 Magnum Handi-rifle. See pix and video.

I perfer a bow however; when I have to use a rifle, I like my 270.

Savage heavy barrel 7mm mag
W/ monarch 150 gr hollow point
Takes the head nearly off!!

I thought the LR 308 was going to be the perfect hog gun but that turned out to be a big let down, while accurate as all get out and more than enough fire power it was about as handy as a 12 lb fence post. Way too heavy and cumbersome and the damn magazine hung up on every thing. Since my wife won't give me back my STYER 243 I'm setting up a nice little tang saftey Ruger in 243 I picked up about a year ago. I may not be able to get as many rounds out the barrel but at least I'll be able to get the damn barrel out the window. I've went full circle with hog guns and wound up right back where I started from.

That is a hawg!

One that goes bang and is accurate

.45-70, 30.06, 30-30, 35 Rem, .357

Fn fal

Or saiga 308, 16. Inch barrel with an aim point micro

I own plenty of rifles and anyone of them will kill ahog but my next one for hogs will be a Remington 750 carbine in 35 Whelen.

picked up a new gun a few days ago.. 22-250 ruger #1 that things shoots one ragged hole at 100

ruger blackhawk 45 colt 300gr hard cast at 900 fps. smacks em real good.

Integral suppressed 458 Socom bolt action - just waiting for the form 1 to come back so i can build it.

An AR in 223 with a can with 40gr VMAX (mind eraser and blows little piglets open sometimes in half)

you dont need a cannon to kill a pig just pop it in the head

my pig sticker

Ideal would be something belt fed and water cooled, but I don't have one.

Noveske N6 308 with PVS24

LR-308

Hoping this one.

It's pretty thick where we hunt so my Marlin 45-70 is the ticket for me. The AR is fun to take but we never get off more than 3-4 shots so the need for a high-capacity mag hasn't been an issue.

Only usually get one shot off at night before the rest go off like a star burst in every direction. lol

So Ill stick with my one shot drop-em gun. A Ruger #1 with a 180 grain .300 win mag. Head, heart, shoulder makes no difference they run about 1 foot straight down.

I'm in the process of building mine and will start assembly once I get my lower in from the group buy on here.
After the people at Satern start turning out Grendel barrels that will be my next build. That will be sometime in November from what I understand.

The one I'm building will look like this...

Lower
Spike's Tactical Stripped Lower
Palmetto State Armory Lower Parts Kit w/o Fire Control Group
ARFX Skeleton Stock
AR15 A2 Rifle Stock Completion Kit
MAGPUL MIAD Pistol Grip
Spike's Tactical Billet Trigger Guard
Geissele SSA-E

Upper
AR 15 Performance 16" 6.8 - 4150 CMV Scout Profile Barrel
VLTOR MUR Upper Receiver
ITS Extreme Duty NiB Bolt Carrier Group
5X4 Compensator
Samson Evolution Free Float Tube 11"
BCM Gun Fighter MOD 4(Med) Charging Handle
VLTOR Low Profile Gas Block
Mid-Length Gas Tube

22-250 with a bullet between the eyes or in the ear.

.22, 5.56, or .308. whichever is in my hand at the time.

Mcmillin Custom .308 in coyote tan wearing a cyclone for distance work



Noveske .300blk SBR will wear a SDN-6 (both in transfer....can't wait!!) for close work

My " AR-47 " 7.62X39 Bushmaster Upper, Spikes Lower.

An old Westernfield bolt action 308 with a $30 bb gun laser mounted on top of the scope.

.300 blackout with a high quality suppresor and an UltraFire Laser light.

Absolutely beautiful!!!!

Depends on if you want to shoot one or more than 1. Probably a suppressed 6.8 with thermal optics but since I'm an average Joe, I have a 5.56 with a good light and bonded bullets

That ammo is for sissy 30-30's...... Buy yourself some Buffalo Bore ammo loaded with lead cast bullets. And never have that problem again.
