WCF, for what it's worth, last year in Nov I went on a boar hunt in France. I was going to take my Marlin Lever .44 which I thought would be ideal however logistics of getting said rifle into UK then on Eurostar meant it wasn't worthwhile. I assumed that the lodge would have rifles we could use. WRONG. we got battered Russian O/U 12 bores with no sights. It was a waste of time, 13 shooters, 3 brought rifles, they all killed boar no problem. Of the rest of us 2 or 3 had shots at less than 20 yds and scored, all the others went home sans le bacon ! I passed up a shot at 3 good boar since they were 70-100 yds away, with just a front bead and a slug, forget it. I would follow Tatumes' advice and get it scoped with a red dot, a Doctor or some such, then you have a fair chance out to 80-100yds. best, Mike
