Re: 7.62x39 or 6.5 Grendel for pigs?

I'd Pick up the .308 every time. Ammo availability is priority one and the .308 wins hands down. Everything from factory loaded match ammo to 180 nosler partitions. I use the 168 gn. Gold medal match (available at cheaper than dirt for 22$ a box of twenty) and average five shot 2" groups at 500 yds. The rifle is a howa 20" fluted barrel with a 4 x 14 zeiss scope. This weapon system has accounted for over 50 hogs taken off our ranch in the last 6 months. These shots were at ranges between 100 and 800 yds. I highly recommend Ivey scope mounts as they have worked perfectly for me and have 150 minutes of elevation built into them.

Daryl, I was hoping for something in semi auto. Find a scout mount for dads .308 saiga?
