Nice video's. I'm jealous at the amount of g-hogs you get to shoot. It like finding a needle in a hay stack here in central PA.

...I have g'hogs for close to 30 years now in Ohio....up until about 10 years ago....I have seen a decline no doubt to predation from coyotes....
....yes I am lucky, one farmer I hunted on, trapped over 55 with conibear traps....one thing for certain..you can't kill 'em all....the one's in the woods always move into "empty" dens in the fields!!

I know what you mean, each summer I wipe out all of them around me, 1st yr I got 15 then last yr around 10 and this yr it's up to 11. The first 25 was with a 22 PPC and now moved up to my 6 Dasher.

. Here's another pic of my 22-250 Savage LRPV:Those things are huge, we have rock Chucks here in NV and they only show them selves on the golf courses .
heres my on going build for allthings varment like
its a stevens 223 with a cheap scope for now,riflebasix trigger,stockys light weight thumb hole stock pillered and bedded, i lapped the locking lugs and bolt rails.
still needs a good barrel but two things, i dont know if i want to leave it a 223 or switch to the AI 223
and second it just shoots too dang good right now to mess with it yet ;-}

I would say to focus on optics and shoot it until it stops shooting well. Another idea would be to have the current barrel reamed to an AI and see if you like it. That way when you dump money into a new barrel, you'll know if you want to keep it a standard 223 or an Ackley improved version.

Shoot that 223 until its dead (which will be a long time). If you're going to rebarrel, look at something a bit bigger where you can get better BC bullets...think 6mm (.243)

Me too...thought you looked familiar...you a member at Logan county F&G by any chance?
Already have a 243 but thanks.
Tank that's most likely what I would do
