Yeah, I had a little "windfall" recently and I really didn't "need" anything, so I splurged on a Springfield M1A SOCOM CQB and a Sig ECHO 3 thermal sight for it. M1As are over priced but it's something I'm familiar and comfortable with. The rechargeable light I got didn't cost much, I have another one like it and it works great. I was able to get Some Hornady SST ammo before the crunch, but the ammo I was referring to in the post was Hornady Critical Defense. It's hard to find right now and expensive but it's designed for shorter barrels and it uses low flash powder. Another man toy for my collection.

That's some class right there. I bet it gets the job done. When I was a boy, my best friend filled his families freezer every year with an old British .303 rifle. Iron sights, he never missed.

Depends on the thermal sight i guess. Flir breach isnt too bad and they are fairly cheap used. Still cost more than the gun.

A big sow can go a couple of hundred pounds or more. They're mostly smaller though. I saw one that was a lot more than that. It looked like an enormous black mass. I shot it at about 60 yds. with a 30/30 and it just ran away. I found its tracks, but I didn't find any blood. I tracked it until I lost the tracks.

Not so much for me. Family's into reloading & had .308 dies = cheap ammo. Rifle only 250 thanks to t&c rebate. Cabelas .308 scope works fine, though I did have to use the warranty once already. But, lethal at 300yd. Good enough for me.

Sounds like a good set up to me. I just had some good fortune, for a change, and started putting together my dream hog exterminator package. I would be perfectly happy heading to the woods with what you have.

They are an invasive species harmful to both biodiversity and thanks to their rooting the forests themselves. This is environmentalism.
