Hey kids, it's still an airgun forum! Buy a big bore airgun if you want to keep it on-topic.
Edit: A Beaumont Odin might do, at 350 Fpe? |

Big bore ....must have. I doubt that a big bore air rifle will make it into this year's priorities. There are just too many needs ahead of my wants for that to happen. It is definitely a leap I need to make. The ability to take big animals with an air gun is just too much for me to pass up on.
With a .40 to .50 cal air rifle, I'd go for a hog. No hesitation at all. |

| Just a reminder wild hogs are filthy, mean, tough and eager to attack making them extremely dangerous so if you hunt them (no matter what size gun) always have someone with a backup gun. |

| Some of the airguns used in Southeast Aisa can kill a water buffalo now imagine if you used something like that for a hog. |
