rifle for deer/wild boar
im getting a rifle in the near future and just wanted to see what every1 else is using for deer and wild boar...im looking for a 308 for deer and no idea for wild boar...something with good stopping power...
wild boar use a 7mag
I always wanted to go hunting but everyone I asked are retired hunters. We should hold a IA hunting day! lmao. jk
ppl would be shooting each other cause so much BS would be said about each others rides lolOriginally Posted by LokiSays
Yea that cant be good lol
I use a .300 Rem ultra mag for both
Land Rover LR3 HSE
dude dont listen to them use the same gun for both. A 300 win mag is a cannon and will kick hard but i mean if you can handle it go for it.
But a good 270 or 30-06 will be fine for both just get good sheels and as far as boar in GA go they are not super huge unless your lucky.
yea i dont really want anything that going to kick real hard...still want to see what happen with my deer or boar lol...i shot my bro 308...kick hard but fun...most my frens and cousin uses 270...
Just buy an AR-10. You kill two birds with one stone. You have the cool factor of owning an AR and satisfy your urban defense needs while having an adequate hunting caliber as well (.308). I personally use a .300 WSM for hunting, but used a single shot .270 for years. I am thinking about buying a 7.62x54R Mosin Nagant some time in the near future, just for the hell of it, if I can find one with a decent bore/rifling. Even if it doesn't shoot adequately, I will only have wasted $150. Pretty much anything that will take down a deer will take down a hog as well, and vice versa.
kool thanks...AR would be kool...
300 is the way to go!!
also what kind of property are ou gonna be on? if no shots across long fields or food plots you could look into a 30-30. Or for a no kick but still good power and shoots flat for a long way get a .243
And also stock size makes a difference with the kick. I used to have a new england firearms kids single shot 30-06 and it would bust your ass lol
I just got a Mosin Nagant..Very good gun...And I guess I got lucky,because it's pretty accurate.Never shot a rifle before until I got it..Fun gun in my opinion.
I really wish I would have bought one a few months back at one of the gun shows I went to. There was a table full of them for $79.00 each. Now I can't find one for less than $120.00
You would probably be the first one shot.

haha yeah on the hunting day
and i actualy took my old ek to the woods to hunt.
People were like wtf when i got out the car in camo and boots
We need to get a land lease for a day, and everyone pitch in for a massive IA hunt ..
basically when we realize that no one will get any shots in, we'll spray the forest with lead (of course cleaning up afterwards)
lol...sounds fun^^^as far as land goes i dont know yet either because it'll be my first time hunting besides duck hunting, did that once back in cali...but i will be going with some older cousins of mine soon...
I say a .270, I used to hunt with a .257 (deer). Its all about shot placement, like said above.....the wild boar here aren't huge.

dude and unless you got good property deer hunting can be boring as hell. Nothing like duck hunting, the shows on tv kinda lie those guys wait for hours too they just make it seem like 5 min
lol...they do make deer hunting fun on tv...i guess i just wait and see when i go with them...probably just use one of theres for now...
I don't hunt but my brother does and he has a remington 30-06 with a boss and a 270 with winchester ballistic tips that he uses for both. Every deer/hog he shoots 9/10 just fall or run like 10 feet then fall and the guns don't kick hard at all I have shot them before.
A 30-06 will kick more than a .270, but will also shoot farther. I used the .257 because there is the same knock down power as a .270 and almost no kick at all.
2007 Civic FA1 and 2005 Yukon XL Denali
hummm...257 will look into that...
Here is the exact model I had, great shooting gun.

looks and sounds good...257 or 308???
If you're hunting in the woods, I wouldn't see the need for anything bigger then a .270. Now if you're hunting a open field or power lines, etc., any large opening with long shots then a bigger gun might be needed.
2007 Civic FA1 and 2005 Yukon XL Denali
wrong. A .270 win is a necked down .30-06 case with a smaller bullet. It will actually shoot slightly farther and flatter than the .30-06. Bullets in 150gr in both calibers have almost identical ballistics in terms of velocity and energy. The .270 win has a lower drag coefficient, and therefore holds supersonic speed longer. These days, the only reason the .30-06 is still more popular is because there is a much larger usable range of bullet weights, up to 220gr in the .30-06, where as the .270 really tops out around 165-180gr. The "kick" of the two calibers is almost identical. Both cases hold almost exactly the same amount of powder. The .30-06 originally gained popularity because of its use in military applications. There was a shitload of surplus ammo after WWI and WWII, as well as surplus rifles in this caliber.
Bullet diameter has nothing to do with "kick".

I google searched and came up with your exact reply.....lol copy and paste? And yes I was wrong, not sure what I was thinking (not a gun expert). Still I do know a .270 is a great gun and I haven't hunted with anything bigger.
2007 Civic FA1 and 2005 Yukon XL Denali
wrong again. I don't have to copy paste. I know guns inside and out. Show me evidence. If you found something similar, chances are I posted it there also.
Land Rover LR3 HSE
cause you're the the internet gun expert. I'm not searching again to argue with you, I said I was wrong....it doesn't bother me, the point I was making was right.....In woods the you don't need a super long range gun, as in open fields you might.
2007 Civic FA1 and 2005 Yukon XL Denali
Look, I've probably forgotten more about guns than you will ever know. I have no need to copy paste anything from google.
The point I was making is that the .270win makes just as good of a long range rifle as the .30-06.
OP, just get a .300win mag or a .300 Rem Ultra mag and you will have a gun that can take anything in north america.

or just get a .243 and learn how to shoot. they shoot flat, far and dont kick.
Also dont use balistic tips they suck balls and dont leave blood trails trust me all a gimic
My only complaint with this large of a cailber is its not very forgiving on the shoulder and the pocket book.
The best advice I can give is buy as big as you can afford the first time. The problem most people run into when they start hunting has nothing to do with the gun. Browse some pawn shops and borrow weapons from friends. When you get the hang of hunting and can learn what a safe/smart shot on an animal is then you can determine what size gun to buy. Alot of people will buy huge bore guns for the extra power hunting in brush as well. One of my favorite hunting rifles that was super cheap and the ammo is as well is a mauser I built. I changed out the stock, drilled and tapped for scope mounts, cut the barrel down and bought a shit ton of ammo for under $400. It was a neat project and I can say I did all the work.

who needs guns?
I like compund bows myself, it makes more of a challenge but when your not wanting to track a deer or any animal for that matter a gun is the way to go everytime. although a compound bow is a very fun and interesting piece of hunting equipment.
i actually just sold my bow
seeing deer and them not coming in close just pisses me off
and its so hard to find good land now days so when you do see some you need to be blastin
marlin 30-30
I shoot with my remington 700 .308. shoots beautifully! course it has some slight modifcations to it. but hey it definitly works for long range shoots. its been a long time since i went deer hunting though
22-270 or a 30-06 for deer. When we boar hunt with dogs we use 22 mag or a 45 cal pistol.
