Excellent. Thanks for the insight Edelweiss and Kuduae!

Kuduae, I agree that for snap shooting one of the most important components is a well fitting rifle. I have a straight stock 1886 in 45-70 that balances perfectly and shoulders like a good shotgun.

A double rifle in 8x57 JRS or 9.3x57R sounds about ideal for a dedicated driven boar gun. One day...
