David_218 Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Any suitable Deer Caliber will work. Something between a .243 or .30-06 with bullet weights of 87 to 150 grains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TheDeerHunter Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Re: Whats your choice of rifles ?? I'm using my dad's Remington 22-250. Me and my buddy sighted it in today so I can't wait till tomorrow morning. Hopefully this time I won't miss. This morning I missed one at most at 150 yards. But my gun was shootin low. But it's my fault I should have had it sighted in before I started going out after cyotes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Re: Whats your choice of rifles ?? I know a guy that kills hogs with a .22 stinger. Only gun he will use to kill hogs. He is an older man and does not believe in wasting any meat. If there is meat on the bone he is gonna pick it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ronin Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Re: Whats your choice of rifles ?? Yep, I know of that too. The only problem is they get up close and personal with a stinger behind the hog's ear. Normally when a hog is dog cornered or stuck in a pen. 22's don't penetrate hogs very well. As a matter of fact I had a friend that heaad shot a hog from the front. The bullet grooved the skull between the eyes and deflected. The bullet was a 7mm Mag. Similarly, I've seen a number of yotes shot with .22 rimfires that are still running around today. Personally, I hate to watch any animal suffer and I would rather drop it without a twitch of the tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Re: Whats your choice of rifles ?? I really like the .223 Rem. It will do the job when the bullet is placed in the right place. There are a lot of good quality bullets available and there are some very good factory loads on the market. The cartridge is chambered by most companies that make rifles. It is available as a single shot, semi, or bolt action. It has minimal recoil, can be superbly accurate, is a lot quieter than the .22-250, .220 Swift, .243 Win, etc, and it is effective to 400 yards.

wtnhunt Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Re: Whats your choice of rifles ?? Not really much of a choice, using what we already have. That said I am using the wifes savage model 10 chambered in .243. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Re: Whats your choice of rifles ?? I've got an el cheapo Savage Model 340 in 223 that I rescued from a pawn shop and refinished. Shoots great out to about 300 yards. If I'm planning on anything longer, I take my Ruger 77 in 220 Swift.

Guest wthomaslee Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Re: Whats your choice of rifles ?? Ronin you really see a 7mm deflected by a hogs head? what range? I couldn't count the wild hogs I've killed in a pen or bayed by dogs with a 22 rimfire. All these shots are less than 20 feet though. But then again I save everything but the oink. tried to jar it once but it went bad on me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
