Out here in California, a lot depends on the time of year the pig is shot and available forage. The best time to shoot a pig is from late November through the end of May. They feed on acorns in the fall and move on to roots and green vegetation in the winter when the ground is soft and wet. They...
A buddy of mine recently got a 700 adl. It's a basic rifle, but serves its purpose and is sufficiently accurate. Another friend has a TC Venture and it's an absolute tack driver. I picked it up, having never shot it before, and shot a 3 shot group at 100 yards with cheap corelokt ammo that...
Been kicking around the idea of building a 6.5 upper for a while. Main purpose would be ringing steel at long range and shooting wary coyotes that don't want to come inside 4-500 yards. I like the .223 and have a mossberg MVP that's a tack driver with 50 gr vmax, but the high BC of the 6.5 makes...
