[QUOTE="grit, post: 708753, member: 4112"] If you'll be running several hundred rounds a year and need it to last ten years, the 308 will have a big advantage in barrel life. I would consider the 260 /6.5x55, and the 7mm-08/7x57 (depending on availability). All four cartridges offer modest recoil, flat trajectories, and good barrel life. For breaking down pigs, bullet selection will be a big factor. For a stock rilfe, anything with a quality stock and good trigger. The 700, Tikka, and CZ come to mind. Not sure what's available where you are. A 50mm objective definitely helps gather light. Glass quality is more important. [/QUOTE]
