Best pig rifle ?

[Pawnee Bill]

Any opinions on what makes for a good pig gun? Cali is GTG on pig all year and there is no bag/possession and transport limit on pigs right now. Long story short I made the mistake a few weeks ago of using an 5.56 AR15 on a pig hunt. I was having no luck all day until heading back to the truck, anyhow a ninety pounder crossed right in front of us on the trail about a hundred yards up. I had to light the thing up before it died, probably shot it about ten times, worst kill ever.

So don't try to convince me that any 5.56 is gonna do the trick. "Or you didn't shoot it in the right place."

I was thinking 6.8 or even 308 gas gun now. Who is using a bolt gun for pigs? Advice appreciated.

308 Win, you pick a bullet, AR10 platform, good scope. That's all you need.
