[QUOTE="robbobsam, post: 417889, member: 25432"] Hiya Guys, Here in the UK wild boar hunting is a relatively new sport and I am in the process of getting permission to get a new caliber rifle for wild boar. I am considering a .308 for the job (Is that a good option?) and was hoping you guys could advise me. I was hoping to get a rifle that shoots 200grain bullets accurately up to 1000yds as well as I am also hoping to do some long range shooting in New Zealand next year after deer and goat. I am lead to believe that the heavier bullets work better at long range as they cut through the wind better. Is this right or wrong ??? I will be shooting long range with the rifle climbing mountains after goats etc in New Zealand and going on driven wild boar shoots in Poland. Your advice as ever means a lot to me. So, please advise on the following; [LIST=1] [*]What rifle/rifles? (One preferably) [*]What caliber? [*]What weight bullet? [*]What barrel twist rate? [/LIST] Fire away guys, what do you think???
