Hog Getter!

Charlie,

I shot one of the first ones Bushmaster made and then one of the regular production uppers a few weeks ago..... the owner had an Trijicon ACOG mounted and I have say I was impressed.

That monster should do fine on hogs.... in fact, the originally concept was brought to Bushmaster by a bunch of Georgia Hog Hunters.

I wouldn't rule it out past 150 yards.... we were hitting paper plates regularly well past that range with the ACOG ...

Thanks for the input. I haven't shot one yet so all info is appreciated.

Don't waste the money! Buy ammo and a few nice Smiths maybe a few let me see if I can get this out Rug............. nope , :mrgreen: but anyway I won't just to have a few shots with it. Get something you can use all the time. Just my opinion! mytwocents

I don't buy anything in oddball calibers. I stick with .22LR, .357/.38, .30-30, and 20 ga. shotguns. All ammo is fairly cheap and readily available at WALMART. I can also afford to shoot what I buy!!! ( Just my philosophy on guns and shooting. ) Bob

I appreciate all the comments. I'm presently not dedicated to getting the "odd ball" calibers and am still considering things. I do reload so I think that might be an advantage should I get an upper in a non-standard caliber. By the way, does anyone know offhand if the flat-top on a
Colt AR has a true "picatinny" rail? I'm in the process of purchasing a Burris 1.5-6 30mm scope and Burris rings that attach to a picatinny rail. I'm not real sure of the differences on the flat-tops. Any help would be greatly appreciated (I'm calling Burris tomorrow to verify it will fit).

charlie get a 45/70 and cast your own bullets for those hogs .
