ive spent the last couple years hunting hogs learning anything i could about these wonderful animals. ive tried so many different calibers, bows muzzle loaders with good success. My heart has always been with a 30-30 I shot a Marlin 30AW cheap wal-mart version with a cheap tasco scope and cheap remington 170 gr corelokts and killed more hogs than with any of the other guns and bows combined.. sitting here looking at all my guns and different ammo i realized it has been fun and exciting using all of these. While looking for a new toy the other day i spotted a winchester 94 in the gun rack, ive always love marlins and have quite a few marlins i looked at it cycled the action loved the funish surprisingly was not loose or won out the guy said it had been shot very little. i took it home with me. i noticed it was extremely light and handy at the range it actually shot better than my trusty old marlin. now i am looking for asome peep sights and a fire sight of some sort for the front. i love this little gun i went to my old stand by hunting place and shot me a good pig dropped in its tracks on a slightly quartering shot punched it behind the shoulder angling forward. i have a pic but cant remember how to post it. after this I am going to stick with this one gun the next year and get back to usuing my favorite little round the 30-30. ive killed some huge hogs with thick grissle oplates with a 30-30 i have never had onwe fasil to kill a pig as long as i put my shot right in the vitals.
