Hogs get thick down here and multiple shot opportunities are the norm not the exception.
As stated up there somewhere Kachok, the AR 15 comes in all kinds of flavors nowadays. I hog hunt with either the 6.8 SPCII or my .458 SOCOM. The 6.8 has absolutely no problem whatsoever knocking them down and the .458 put's them down with the lightning and the thunder of Zeus! I also own a 7mm.08 AR 10 thats just over 10 pounds but it's got a fairly long barrel since thats what I use presently for longer distance hogs. Just put in the order today for a new AR build. .338FED to take over long distance hog duties. Just gotta love that .308 parent case!
