If you were setting up a dedicated wild boar rifle, what would it be?

RE: If you were setting up a dedicated wild boar rifle, what would it be?
I've taken a few hogs over the years with my 30-06 browning and norma vulcan 180grains
Now I'm feeding the rifle with hornadys 150 grain Interbond- That bullet is one hard hitting M*F.
Got 2 scopes mounted in Leupold QR. A Aimpoint 9000L for those driven hunts and a Zeiss 6-24x56 illuminated for those dark nights. You do not really need bigger than the 30-06...

I would have to go along with Hog Wild's suggestion on using a 30.06.The 180 grain is ok,but I do think that 150 is much better as far as the accuracy of the shots.

I know hogs are tough, but I haven't seen one NOT go down w/ my 30-06. firing 150 grain express core lockt. Inexpensive ammo, great grouping and lethal. 30-06 is a great all around rifle.
