[QUOTE="Texas Speed Bump, post: 1993774, member: 115057"] Not that you don't already have enough advice on this but my Covid quarantine project this year was to build an LR-308 specifically for pigs. Got tired of them running off after I plowed into them with my 5.56 AR so I decided to up the ante. I put a rifle-length gas system on a 16" McGowan barrel (which takes a bit of tuning), LaRue 2-stage trigger, Precision Armament M11 Severe-Duty muzzle break (which, along with the rifle-length gas system makes the .308 shoot like an AR-15). And finally I topped it off with a Leupold VX-6HD 4-24x, which is overkill for this gun but I got a killer deal on it and couldn't pass it up (I have 4 Leupolds...3 of them CDS). She shoots 1/2 MOA at 100 yds using the Barnes TTSX 165 grain all copper rounds I loaded for it. She's a bit on the heavy side at 13 lbs, but I tend to like heavy rifles that take the brunt of the recoil instead of me. Wanted a semi-auto with some punch so I could get back on target quickly and hopefully get more than one out the sounder. [/QUOTE]
