Nevermind.
Ed Ames said:So you set up your ambush and wait for the game to come through.... relying on moonlight and hearing I assume. A group of pigs wander into view..or maybe you just hear them and know they are there. You then illuminate them with your surefires so you can aim.
How do they react when you turn on your flashlights?
I'm envisioning a scene with a bunch of startled pigs running around or bolting for cover. Is that about what happens?
Also, most of the hog shots will be well under 50 yards-- some much closer -- and often in heavy cover so the ability to acquire the target quickly is a handy feature
I'm a shotgun fanboy at contact range, but in this scenario (feral hogs, 0-50yds), I'll take a rifle with a 30 round magazine and some good quality ammo (Hornady 75gr TAP or comparable loadings with SMKs).I think your choice of Eotech is fine, not sure I'd agree with choice of weapon for the given task.
Your above statement screams 12 guage loaded with buckshot to me.
