Advice Sought: Driven Boar Rifle
09/03/11 03:06 AM

Hi all,

I am very fortunate to have access to a driven boar area in France, where I shoot 6 - 10 times per year. The game is mostly boar (ranging from 30kg to a huge 176kg monster this year), but also have Red Stags and roedeer (which I don't like shooting driven, as the current 300WM makes a mess of them).

Anyway, Bonuses have been good this year (no, not a Banker) and am looking to have a fine old British DR in BPE to add to the fun and challenge.

Anyway, not having enough experience with these calibers (but loads with DR's in modern calivers, 9,3x74R and 8x57), would like your opinions and thoughts on what caliber to go looking for. Don't want a bruiser to handle, nor something that won't have the penetration to put the animals down in 1. (currently shoot a 300WM for this, and it does a treat).

So, which caliber would you see as ideal? and of course any other ideas / opinions would be most welcome!

Cheers

Dugong
