Re: Afforable .308 hog hunting rifle?
26When I was shopping my 308, I really thought I'd like the Savage Hog Hunter, until I handled it. The stock "felt" cheap, flexy, and weak. I get they have to trim costs somewhere though. The Mossberg felt more sold and substantial. Don't know about the Ruger. For glass, it's hard to drop more for the scope than you spent on the rifle. But there are some decent scopes for general purpose and hunting that aren't NCStarish. Research the fixed power SWFA SS for about $300.
Be sure to make good choices when you're being stupid...
