best pig caliber/rifle?

I suppose a Mosin-Nagant would work well. Cheap to buy and ammo is cheap too. Plus, you wouldnt have to worry about scratching her up in the brush and such.

I've had good luck with .308 and 35 Remington rifles for hogs.

I have used a Winchester Model 100 .308 and a Saiga 12 gauge using slugs, to take Hogs on a hunt last summer. Here those two proven hog-takers are

This year We have added a Mini-30 in 7.62x39mm, and a Ruger 44 magnum Carbine to the hunting gun arsenal for my wife and I to use on our upcoming September Hog Hunt.

The best in my cabinet is a Marlin 444.

Go old school: Get a Remington Model 8 auto loader in .35 rem.

Might not bet "the best" but it's my pick of the minute.

....and if you asked me now, just one minute later, I'd say how about a Winchester m-94 in .25-35. Yeah....I like that idea.


Or a scoped out Desert Eagle in .41, .44, or .50.

.... WAIT! HOLD THE PHONE, I'VE GOT IT!: Who was it that was converting the M1 carbine to .50 AE a few years ago? Yeah! That.

25-06 is all I use.. My son likes his 6mm. My 15year old daughter took her first pig this year with her 22WMR behind the ear 1 shot. DRT at a very long distance.

Not so cheap but a Browning BAR in .300 WM or 9.3x62 should sit 'em down well...
