Have dumped hogs with just about every long gun I own, plus a few sidearms.
M1Carbine
SKS
AK
AR
Shotguns
bolt action rifles in a few different calibers
lever action rifles in 4570/30-30/357magnum
Have sold/traded off most of the above.
My favorite hog dumpin stick = The M1A-A1 and M14S Tanker.
Iron sights, optics, NVS, with and without cans.
All types of ammunition. ( Milsurp FMJ using 20rd mags for lower cost eradication, to various "match" offerings at longer ranges, to several different loads specifically designed for hunting medium and large.)
I like to try out various big game loads on hogs to get some real world info on how they perform through my rifles in field conditions.
The same rifles are also my coyote, deer, black bear, and elk hunters.
More or less, this type of rifle is my all around utility, general purpose, hunting rifle for everything except small game.
