After sighting in at 60 feet, I could easily cover 5 shots with a nickel kzfaq.infoUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL ! Truly a pleasure to shoot! Scope was easy to adjust for eye relief. Only problem the varmints must have seen it delivered lol!Update: So impressed with shot groups at 30 yards I purchased a Hammers 3×9 with adjustable Objective scope! Now a true nail driver!

I would recommend the Winchester Lever Action 30/30. Its easy to use, doesn't kick to much, has enough power to put down just about any pig and has enough follow up shots for most situations. If your only a small bloke, get the gun in 44mag or 45 long colt.

The .223 is probably the best alround caliber. You can shoot just about anything with it, its cheap, accurate and you can get ammo anywhere. they are the best for roo and dog shooting but larger calibers work better on bigger pigs. If your lucky enough to get a govt. contact, they usually stipulate that you have to use nothing smaller than a .308. Given the choose I would use the 30.30 over the .223 for pig shooting but for roos and dogs , the .223 would be my pick.

Hi Steve. I've recently come from working on a cattle station out from Longreach. the guys i was working with & a number of others out there, some of which are also contract shooters, mainly for the meat market seem to lean more towards the .223. some using the ballistic tip rounds. from what i've seen of them they seem to have done the job quite sufficiently on pigs, roos & on wild dogs (not for the meat market). How would you rate the .223 up against the .30-30 or .270 as you mentioned?

How you going, Ive just recently got my Firearms License, mainly for pig shooting (from NSW..based in WA) (in the ADF) and im a decent shot with military rifles but no idea what rifle to buy, me being used to 5.56mm rounds from both f88 and f89s...and even the 50. (also shot 12g. shotgun so recoil isnt a problem) just wondering what type of rifle would be good for a first? And where are you from? do you do like hunting tours etc just to show around new hunters?

Hey steve, I live in the NT and own a Rem 7615. I've heard mixed opinions on using 30rnd magazines for hunting. I know that there are no laws on round capacity here, but I've been told that you are not allowed to use them for hunting and only for range use, is this true? Haven't been able to find a definite answer.

we got a .22 semi auto. little ruger 10/22 perfect for spotlighting. bumma the semi auto licenses are so hard to get. i was looking at getting a 22-250 primarily for foxes and possible on roo's (yes we have permits) would they be any good for pigs? (if we went on the occasional trip) either that or a .243?

If I could recommend 2 rifles for pigging, I'd be leaning close to the same you've suggested. 30/30 win lever, spot on open sights, but also a remington 7600 .243. I've had the .243 for about 10years, it's quick, damn accurate and I can knock over a pack of 10 pigs in about 25 seconds when they're on the trot @ 250yrds, very versatile gun, will take down anything with the right load and if you cant shoot well.

Hi Rick. I think NSW has just put a ban on shooting deer with anything under 30cal. And as for your single shot idea, how about a combo gun like the Tikka 412S .222 / 12 Gauge on Ozguns.com at the moment those two calibers cover a lot of game.

I have used other guns and calibers, around 10 or so, and nothing is as prudent as this combination for hogs. Check out the gun and caliber and u will see. If u ever use this combo then u will know its potential. God Bless the USA
