Headed out on Wednesday with some buddies after pigs. Have got plenty of ammo loaded and the guns are ready. I'll shoot them at the range when I get there and decide which I want to use those days I guess. But, I finished putting this one together yesterday. Bought the barrel last week from a gentleman on another forum and I was really impressed with the quality of the work on the barrel. It was made by OTT and is a 209x50 for a contender. See what you think. Hopefully I'll have some pictures of it with a piggy or two next week.



Here is the one that I used on the last trip. Hogs hate this one. The 375-06 JDJ. Just hammers them!




There are sixguns going to but I'm really wanting to try a couple loads in some of the single shots and the new BP barrel. Got any favorite hog guns, let's see them.

Those look like some fine hog whacker's. Sounds like a great trip. Have fun, be safe and let us know how you did.

I really like my 376 Steyr for boar. It's very similar to your 375/06 JDJ. Rounds like these offer extended range, thumping knock down power, and penetration at any angle.

Also like my 416 Barnes

When I hunted with revolvers I liked my Freedom Arms model 555 in 50 AE. I took this big toothed rascal with it

I know who you got that from, it is a shooter. That fluting is unmistakeable.

Good luck, whack 'em an' stack 'em!

My new favorite hog gun...would be this one.

I know it's cheating - so I'd punt and go with the Casull...no the Linebaugh...no the 500WE. Along with the Grendel of course!

Actually plan on taking the 475 JDJ this evening with the Kill Light attached.
(Pictured on bottom)


Good luck Glenn!

Nice guns! Never fooled with a competitor. Don't know I've ever seen one in person. May have to try one some day. I'm afraid the XP will be next.

Dur is out cheating with long guns! I guess we can't say it was a black rifle since it appears to be green but it's still wrong.

good luck with the 475 this weekend bud!
