[maxmayhem]

I was looking at these last night and they seem like a good value for 450ish..

They have the accutrigger and a threaded barrel..comes in 223, 308, and 338 win mag...cant really get em anywhere but gunbroker...

my question on this is on the threaded barrel...what could suppress a 338 win mag with....would you rather have this as 223 or 308....i am leaning toward 223 or 308 but want to see what you all think

 

[IndyGunworks]

I would prefer the .308

It's nice..........but from what I know from friends who've been down in Texas, there are somewhat better options available. One fellow told me a semi auto 20 gauge with slugs does the best job, and you have quick follow up shots. jmho

We have a 308 in right now with a Thompson Machine Thirty sitting on it. I like that the sights are tall enough to see over a can.

 

[maxmayhem]

I like the iron sights on this and the ability to add a scope..i love the accutrigger....also like the length and threaded barrel..these are real hard to find unless u get the 338 win mag which might be allright but the suppressor will be hard to come by imo...any body know what kind of suppressor is available in 338 winchester mag

 

[verniebernie]

Thats a nice looking rifle, are they already threaded ? very nice.

 

[maxmayhem]

ok i was going to go ahead and get the 338 win mag but the price went up 50 bucks in 1 day

 

[maxmayhem]

i think i got a line on a 308...does anybody know where you can get this hog hunter with iron sights and threaded barrel

 

[sgreen3]

Thats a heck of price. Be a nice suppressor host.

Premier Arms in Brownsburg had one when I was in there about a week ago, FYI.

I think it would make a good scout rifle. If your scope taks a dump, you still have iron sights.

scout rifle

for the features this offers that is what I am thinking...i am not going to shoot hogs with it. I might if I every see one in my subdivision though.

Found a hog hunter at buds in 223 for 425.....

We need follow up range report. I handled a .223 Hog Hunter this weekend and liked it. The front bead fell right in the rear sight when shouldered and I am seriously thinking of picking one up.

I saw one at Westforths in Northwest Indiana in.223 and was what I was looking for. If you can let me know how you like the rifle.

Suppressed Admament Has one for the 338 Lapua i would think it would be fine on a 338 Win. You can call or email them to be sure.

pretty good gun...accurate...the problem is that you have to keep downward pressure on the bolt or the bolt will slide right over the bullet...i could not figure this out in the freezing rain...i dont know if it was a weak mag spring but it was very frustrating until i figured out what caused it...in other words if u had your hand on the bottom of the bolt just pushing slightly upward to chamber a round the bolt would not grab the bullet from the internal mag ...it would just slide over unless you were putting downward pressure on the bolt...i dont know if this was normal but I dont think it should do that

Time to call savage to see about this problem ASAP.
