Dont have a pic but S&W 460 is my choice can shoot 45 454 or 460 rounds but no matter what you feel that 300grain 454 everytime.

I have had the worst kick out of the 260gr partition golds. I can shoot 45longs or 454's out of mine. I took the scope off to use it as a bush gun and got 2 lil pigs in Neches last January
Those are exactly the tupe I wanted to see on here. I dont own any old style revolvers but I enjoy the hell out of looking at them and seeing how some folks customize them. NICE GUNS

Kicks like a mule  :o

Thats what I have, but without the scope. Best pistol ive owned. Only problem is finding ammo and have to careful about where dogs are, I havnt seen a hog or bear yet to stop a solid tip.

Honestly I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with a pistol :-\ but I've dropped pigs at 250 yds with my .17 hmr. Payed 200 bucks at a pawn shop for it. Best 200 I've ever spent on a gun

i love the big bores but shootin fullhouse loads is somethin this old man aint got a taste for anymore. that 41 has a sharp bite to her. have got to get some dies and loadem down ,but the special ,well its just that .thats all  shoot in my bisley and vaquero too

Guess I'm the only 1911 guy. Springfield xdm 45 shoots great no matter what

I sold my tack driving 17hmr. Savage 93r17btvss. Felt sick to my stomach (ask Jake) but my 7 yr old got a .410 out of the deal (http://img.tapatalk.com/a6890ccb-2811-335f.jpg)

Here' my favorite two.  First is an AR Performance 6.8 SPC AR-15, and second is my Kimber Custom TLE II .45 ACP.  Have put down a lot of pork with both but would rather use my dogs nowadays.

Jared H,
How are your groups at 200yrds with the AR and how do you like the 6.8SPC over the 223?

Badass gun Roo...

.... I know myself well enough not to own a gun small enough to conceal lol... enough said

... as for using guns... my Remington 700 is what I grab for when I need to kill somethin' outright... but yall know what that looks like!!!

... here's a gun I have for "special" occasions...   308 Rem tack-driver... some day I hope to spring for a scope worthy of it's accuracy...

  The best group I've got was a little over 1 3/4".  Checkout ARPerformance.com, they do great work.  To me the 6.8 makes the 223 look like a 22lr.  I shot a 223 for a long time and is good for certain situations but there isn't an animal in North America that I wouldn't feel comfortable shooting with my 6.8.  Its basically a .270 in a smaller casing.
  Very nice Noah.  I almost put that stock on my Remington 700 PSS but stuck with the HS Precision.  Looks like a sure enough shooter.

With the 5.56/223, it just takes good shot placement. Scramble the brians like an egg n there aint nothin on the north american continent it wont drop in its track.

I agree... but I been dreamin' about a 50 cal for a while now  ;D.... some day....

I agree as well but a shot to the brain isnt exactly what I would call practical.  If you were watching, a huge whitetail buck, elk or any other "trophy animal", with a 223 the last thing I would think about is trying to shoot it in the brain. That's just me though.   

I'm not a pistol person but I love my marlin 22 mag rifle that is a shooting son of a gun I been startin to like this 22 hertitage revolver  it shoots good too

As a kid i had a rem 788 chambered in 223. I nvr hunted for horns since i couldnt eat them, but my dad said to make a neck shot. Iv killed many a deer by putin that little round high in the neck. High not meanin near the head, but high being close to the spinal cord. The shock from the bullet will disable any white or mullie, but not sure for elk. Them .50s r nice but in reality, impractible for killin game, just spendin $5-7 for every hammer drop

AIM SMALL MISS SMALL

I'll throw in my take on the 6.8 vs 5.56 debate. 5.56 is more than capable of taking hogs. When you are hunting in lights, you are on the move, the hogs are on the move a hog can soak up alot of .223/ 5.56 bullets if they are not placed perfectly. The 6.8 gives you a little bit more cushion on a less than perfect shot. I have a .223/ 5.56 RRA AR also and shoot alot of hogs with it also. When it comes down to it hunting the grain fields night after night with lights. I will recover more dead hogs with the 6.8.

Very nice setup Eric.

This boys, is my little hog rifle......M1 carbine made in 1943....synthetic stock, open sights and 5 round magazine. It shoots a 110 grain soft point bullet and has killed more hogs than I can count. It has killed 'em from 5 lbs. to over 350 with one shot. Sweeeeeet little rifle. Had it for about 13 years I guess. It's short, light and you can shoot it like a pistol if need be. I love this little gun,.....I reckon that the 'magnumitis' that some folks have just never jumped on me. This cartridge will not shoot through a hog sideways if it's over 50 or 60 lbs. Doesn't bother our dogs with too much muzzle blast and sooooo much safer than some of the cannons that folks seem to like.

some realy cool lookin shooters  dont use a gun much unles i know wear a realy good hog is or im'e running only a couple of dogs but i use a single shot shotgun with solids pistols are ilegal hear but a mate has a cut down 410 we either use 410 solids in it or 44mag;s 44/40 shells work in it but they are gutless

Ive got a few guns i like, no offense guys but im not going t post any pics of them for a ouple reasons.  I like my taurus 454, im def a 1911 guy, and noah, ive got a "Super Sniper" 10x on my rem pss.  Cant say enough about the thing, and for only 3 or 4 hundred when i bought it, it has definately held up..

Been looking at some high end Leupolds that have the recticle calibrated to the cartridge...  High magnification for $1000-1500... That's the best I've seen for what I want

I was looking at the Leupold Mark III i think it was, then abuddy showed me the SS from SWFA.  It may not be a thousand dollar scope but ive had someguys wth Class III licenses and more money than sense buy them after looking at mine.  Yo cant buy them anywhere but from SWFA which is why they are cheap..  Hell if i ever got invited to hunt i could bring it with me..  :D

Brother, I break laws in three states just by waking up every morning.... You sure you can deal with being around that?  ;D

Noah, iv got a leupold 4.5-14x50mm mkIV m1 tactical setin on top of an M-40A1 USMC sniper rifle. It is 1 of the clearest set of optics iv used even for my othr leupolds. I was cuttin my same bullet holes at 100yds, but not sure bout now. I thnk i killed to many brain cells by now to even do it again.

No pic's but mine is Savage model 10 precision carbine .223 , hand tuned a little by yours truly. Shoots tighter groups @ 300 yards than people would believe on the www. with hornady factory ammo

Haha for some reason i think it would definately be interesting!

This is a dandy rifle for me.  Sig SHR 970.  I have 30-06 & 25-06 barrels for this gun ( interchangeable ) .  I have shot about 20 rounds thru the 30-06 barrel and hundreds thru the 25-06.  Deadly medicine on whitetails...

  I dont have any pics but I use a Mossberg ATR 100 in .270 with a centerpoint 4x16x40mm scope. Shoots 1" groups at 100 yrds with hornady factory ammo.  I have killed hundreds of hogs and a few deer with this gun.  My wife calls it my mistress.  Doesn't get used as much now that I am running dogs.

Only pic I got that show the gun, Savage 110a 30.06 /Zeus 44x12, I been downing deer with this gun for 17 yr.'s. Took deer in pic at 275yds I've taken deer at 370yds, it will shoot 1 1/2 in. groups at 200yrds and 2 1/2 in. Groups at 380yrds constantly with 150gr hornandy balistic tip ammo. Bullets start to tumble after 380yrds. I don't have a pic but I bought a rock island 1911a 45cal. Compact w/3.5 in barrel. It was inexpensive and I didn't expect much 375.00$ but I've shot over 500 rounds of reloads without a jam, 2 misfires (cheap ammo) and it more accurate than my kimber full size 1911, and now my favorite hand gun.
