I love wild boar hunting. LOVE. IT. Its relatively cheap, it can be very dangerous and their backstraps are muy tasty. Heres some good campfire fodder for boar hunters, namely, which are the best guns for dispatching wild swine. Enjoy.
1. Browning BAR ShorTrac Hog Stalker
In 1917 John Moses Browning designed the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR), and since its killed more enemies of America than just about anything else.
It served our men in every major conflict from World War I to Vietnam, and so sporting versions of it should be all the pig gun American hunters need. But the new BARwhile similar in nature to its combative brotherhas undergone major changes to make it ideal in the pig woods.
Brownings BAR ShorTrac Hog Stalker is a 10-round semi-auto .308 rifle that feels more like your deer rifle than an AR-15.

I think there was a guy installing Bisley frames on these IIRC.
Its why I always carry a backup handgun.
Guess you were there and know better.
I was there for every shot I made. They were all head shots. The guide I had carried a .30-30, must have been very inadequate.
How many foot-pounds do you think the knife had?
Were you there for the "guy you heard about" up in the tree?
So you put a knife thru the top of a pigs skull. Pretty good
GunBroker has 'em between $500-$600, but then you gotta pay postage and a transfer fee. Sometime you hit on a good deal: got my stainless beauty for $475 + $60.

Best grab a couple whilst they’re still cheap!
Also available as a pistol if desired.
They also carry LOTS of other nice shootin’ goodies and I’ll add the that couple times I’ve purchased from them in the past I was completely satisfied (just ammo, scopes, etc., no firearms as of yet).
