[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1642788, member: 9308"] I have used .308 Win (Remington 700) and a .243 Win (Remington 700). And if I am shooting from a blind, at night, over a feeder with green LEDs, I'm thinking the 'future' hunts will be with a .300 Blackout running subsonic ammo and taking only head shots. I have a Ruger American and an AR-15 in that caliber to choose from. I like the semi-auto for quick follow-up shots BUT the bolt action is much quieter to load in the blind. Letting the bolt fly forward on an AR makes a lot of noise. Banging a long mag on the wooden blind also makes noise. The bolt gun is just quieter and safer to run from the blind FOR ME. If I'm on the ground, the semi-auto gets the nod. If I was one of those dudes shooting hogs from a helicopter, I think the AR-10 in .308 or .338 Federal would be just the ticket. FrankD90, I think ALL your choices would work just great for hogs (Marlin 45-70, .45 Colt cowboy rifle, 6.5 Grendel, and Rem 700 in .30-06.) Just shoot the hogs more forward in the chest than you would a deer. Hog lungs don't seem to extend back quite as far.
