Savage Hog hunter. Comes with a "throwaway" stock but the medium barrel and iron sights are nearly bullet-proof. I wouldn't worry about keeping this gun in a toolbox or behind my truck seats.

Owner of a .338 Hog Hunter and love it. I'm not a hunter, but like to take it with me out back and shoot in the mountains a lot. The Hog Hunter out of the box is extremely capable and tough as nails. Add a scope and you will only worry about breaking that piece of glass. At $400 its hard to...

I bought my .338 Hog Hunter last year and I've been working up my first loads with it. I use the Speer 200 gr hot-cor spitzers with RL-19 powder, Remington 9 1/2 magnum primers and Hornady brass. I can hit sub-moa groups routinely after playing with charge weights a bit. Additionally, the RL-19...

Pushing the Hog Hunter Further Folks, First I greatly appreciate all the input. Much of the advice here in this thread will be taken. Lessons learned from real world shooting have shown me that indeed, the see-through rings were a good idea in theory, but bad in practice. They will be...

Iron Sights dialed in Here is the group I shot with the iron sights at 50 yards. I still had my scope mounted and could see the target just fine. Next time I'll take a pic of my sight picture. Additionally, I am very pleased with my hand-loads. I seem to have found a very sweet load on...

Hog Hunter With Precision Arms Muzzle Brake Here is a video of the muzzle brake in action. This took a LOT of the bite out of the recoil. You will see that the barrel stays pretty well put on the bipods. It used to jump and bounce once before settling down. The muzzle blast is still pretty...

.338 long range Hog Hunter Ok, After a few sessions on the bench, I have some updates: Shoulder says: Go with the 200gr or the 250gr. For some reason, 225gr really pounds my arm. Paper says: Go with 200gr. Wallet says: Go with 200gr. I hand-loaded my first Speer 200gr...

.338 long range Hog Hunter Hey .454, I'm also just starting to build custom loads. I have settled on a middle of the road combo of RL-19 and Speer 200gr spitzers. I am still fiddling with mechanics of reloading and building consistency. I haven't done any serious load testing, but I will...

After doing some math, I calculated that I could save about $1,500.00 (including equipment costs) by reloading 1000 times, using my 100 brass cases on hand. Holy. Cow. Good Call Strongbad -- also nice reference. Trogdooooooor!

I agree with dubbleA. It was a good idea in the store, but after shooting, the iron sight/scope combo does not make much sense. It is much more practical to have a good cheek-weld than to have to hold your head up for every shot. Ideally, there would be a velcro cheek rest that you could...

Yes, I put the brake on myself and I used their spacer rings. They made it super easy to correctly "time" the brake. Clean the threads with brake cleaner - regular car brake cleaner and then I used loc-tite blue to seal it up. Torquing was tough because I don't have a vice, but it's not...

Sunday's test results Hey guys, Turns out, I'm a big flinching sissy! I put that mean old muzzle brake on in between range sessions and what a difference! Additionally I switched to Hornady Superformance SST 200gr (vs. 225) This combo tightened up my shot group by a whole MOA at 100yds. The...

I just put the brake on yesterday (after I shot that group). So I'll head back on Sunday and measure any differences. I just bought every different type of ammo Cabela's had to offer (except their ballistic silvertips - yikes). Including: Winchester 200gr Power Max Bonded Hornady Superformance...

New Pics of the Hog Hunter Just posted up some pictures of my .338 Hog Hunter here: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=704128
