When it comes to firearms, there’s never been a better time to be a tactical hog hunter.  Gun makers keep producing new rifles, in new calibers and various tactical configurations.  

Some of the new rifles on the market today are designed with rather specific hog hunting applications in mind, such as suppressed hunting.   Others allow you to apply the tactical advantage across a wide range of hog hunting situations. 

As a way to kick start the discussion, SHWAT presents ten of the top hog killers available today.  Let us know what you think, as well as your personal favorites for engaging multiple hog targets.  Use the comments, or jump on our Facebook page to post.  There are so many possibilities!  We’d like to include your suggestions in an upcoming SHWAT feature!  This is part one of a two part story.

Ancient wisdom says we are all known by the company we keep, and SHWAT couldn’t be happier to file this initial recap of the $28,000 purse Wild Hog Roundup, sponsored and organized by Wulf Outdoor Sports. The SHWAT Team was there, sponsored by our good friends at Crossbreed Holsters.  You’ll like the kit we took along – gear from Nighthog (Night Vision and Thermal), DBAL-D² and prototype SPIR from Laser Devices, Laser Genetics ND3, LaCrosse Snake Boots, EOTech sites and magnifiers, Leupold  scope, Trijicon ACOG, Insight M6X white light/laser combo, and a pair of Blackhawk boots.  Rifles included guns from Accurate Armory, Rock River Arms, and Armalite.  Ammunition was DRT and Winchester.  You’ll want to dig into this for pictures, details and more.
