This is how my selection of rifles stands atm:
AR-15 carbine 16" bbl or 24" bull bbl, both threaded for suppressor
Rem700 .308 17"bbl w/ a can(26" total bbl length)
Rem 700 .300WM 26"bbl, can be used with or without can
In addition I could use My dad's stuff;
12 gauge pump w/ long bbl
lever action 30-30 top ejection
optics options include a Trijicon 3-9 scope, Leupold 3.5-10, and a nightforce 12-42x56mm w/ illuminated mil-dot(red), and a Simmons 3-9.
I've never really hunted before, but there's a hog problem that's much larger than usual on my parents' farm in east Texas. They've seen as many as 30 hogs at once feeding at the CATTLE feeders. Bear in mind that these are drought conditions, so hog environmental impact is exacerbated immensely. I'd like to put a dent in this population if at all possible on my days off.
Here's where it gets gun related! I intend to bait in a creek bottom that is overlooked from a ridgeline approximately 200-250 yds away, and make my shot(s) from there. Of my meager arsenal, what combination/strategy should I use? I have some spare funds atm, so I could make a new purchase if I had to...
