Hunting & Fishing Wilson Combat 6.8 Hog Hunting setup for Bill

Bill asked if I could upload some pics for him:

Bill Wilson's hog hunting gear

I've tried all kinds of gear for hog hunting, but nothing has worked as well as this set-up for me.

rifle with Trijicon has a AWC 6.8 titanium Thundertrap, NV rifle has a Gemtech .30cal Sandstorm can

Before dark:

Wilson Combat 11" SBR 6.8
Trijicon 3-9x40, crosshair/green dot
WC 200 lumen weapons light (forgot to put it in the pics???)
Nikon 8.5x56 binos

After dark:

Wilson Combat 11" SBR 6.8
Night Optics D740 NV, with IR illuminator
ITT PVS14, with IR illuminator

This gear with some 110gr Barnes TSXs will get the job done!!!!!

And most important piece of kit, wind direction powder..............I use a Bic lighter after dark.

First hog of 2010, a nice 192# (fat) boar. Note the 110gr Barnes TSX exit hole, entrance was in the neck, pretty darn good penetration in my opinion! The shot was from about 100yds so my impact velocity couldn't have been much more than 2150-2200fps. Load was 110gr TSX over 31gr A2460 for 2325fps MV out of my 11" bbl..

Very nice gear. I have been thinking about a 6.8, looks like it gets the job done ........

I can assure you the 6.8 is a very capable round
I have not lost a deer or hog yet and I hunt more with a 6.8 than my 308

building one just for hunting light weight and compact should be nice
