And nice hog.So I finally got around to going hunting this past weekend with a group of guys from... well, "work" in that they're fellow enthusiasts from my time in the secret squirrel spaces. I didn't actually work with them. What an interesting experience. There was much walking involved. Much. Walking. Through brambles, up ridges, down ravines and most of it as quietly as possible. A thoroughly miserable experience. Surprisingly, a successful shot will make you forget most of all of that fuss for a few hours. Well, until you sit down for more than 5 minutes and your muscles start to scream again. I'm too old for this crap.
Anyhow, the rifle is a Steyr Scout Rifle in .308 Winchester. We were all shooting Hornady Full Boar in various calibers (a lot of .223, one 7.62mm, a few 300 Blackout, a couple of .308 and one 50 Beowulf).

Saw 6 road kill today on a 77 mile drive to work this AM. They're the only critter VT allows to be hunted year-round, with lights, and with no license or tagging rules. If they'd put a bounty on them, the Northeast Kingdom (where I've been road-working) would finally have a cash crop and Bob knows they need one.And nice hog.
It's as if someone decided to draw tracks in the dirt with the heel of their boot.

Vrock wrote:The best buy in milsurps is probably the Yugo Mausers (either M48 or M24/47) chambered in 8mm Mauser. That being said, I wouldn't recommend either to a new shooter.
