Legacy Fan Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Re: AK accuracy / reliability trade-off: Dinner plate groups at 300 hundred meters are just fine when you're throwing .30 cal rounds down range in the thousands and you can bury the damn gun in a marsh and pull it out & still keep thumping. Cal- hogs are mean as hell. Cysko said yall can't hunt with 5.56. I'd look at the 30 cal range (.308, 7.62x39, & 300 blackout). The latter suppressed is a fucking amazing hog/home defense rifle. I've hunted hogs with both 30 cal and 5.56. I've dropped some 150 lb pigs with 5.56 but I'm a pretty decent shot (/shamelessBragging). 1st choice I'm taking a 30 cal variant "just to be safe" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Thanks ! I've read where if you shoot them in the head, the bullets bounce off. That's mean. Ah well. Never hunted out of ohio anyways. But I would really like a 5.56. Big enough to be fun, ...we only have 28 acres, with houses here and there. I hope we never have wild boars in N. Ohio. That would be bad. I do believe they have been found in SW ohio... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 There's no way THAT hog is anywhere near Ohio. Looks like the lowlands of Arkansas along the expressway... flooded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 I'm thinking of buying a rock island mk 47 .22 just to plink shit with. Anyone ever play with one? I'm glad you brought this up.. I had forgotten about this pc. I'm about to trade in a small .22 cal 7 shot for a .38 special for CC purposes when I'm doing vaults at one of my businesses. I have a ton of .22 ammo and this is a low cost option for burning it off and a fun small caliber pc. Wild hogs have pretty much over run inland Florida. Go for a walk out in the Cypress & Palmettos and I'll guarantee you'll have to shoot two things, maybe multiple times.. A Hog and a rattlesnake. I've killed so many rattlesnakes on my properties over the yrs it isn't funny.. Hitting one of those bastards with a pistol, now there's a challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
