RE: Good Wild Boar Gun
All depends on how you are hunting. If you are sitting over a feeder, your deer rifle will work just fine. If you are baying with dogs... you need to be mobile.. and really a handgun (or a lance) are fine choices. If you are spot/stalking... I like a bow myself... but a shotgun is a great choice too.
Biggest one I ever killed was with a .22 Hornet... largely because its what was available at the time I needed it!

OEH, you like that new marlin? Thinking of getting one. I have an older one with a microgroove. Have you loaded for it yet?
BC have not even gotten it to the range yet...I like the looks and feell of it . The trigger will have to be redone or replaced and I would just very slightly smooth up the action. Sitting in front of the TV and working the lever a few hundred times has worked wonders.I think it will be the designated NH,ME or VT moose gun(if i ever draw a tag)and short range woodsdeer crumpler since I like sitting in the thick stuff as well as pig and bear gun. I am probably going to hunt NC black bear next fall if the guy has any openings
