Try sticking a red dot on the rifle. Like an Aimpoint Pro. We're not talking AR's. Use it with a bolt rifle. My 700 has a rail for a sight base. 308. I balanced the rifle with the front receiver bolt being the neutral point. It swings better then a shotgun. The scope for it is a Japanese made Weaver k6. Fine cross hairs. For when you feel like being lazy.
With the red dot anything inside 100 yards is easy to hit if you're braced steady. Within 50 yards, you can cut your name. I call it the 'Pig slayer 3000'.

yeow, it might be if you're aimin' at the whole animal. ought not do that. shoot for the liver and use a 5X scope for a quick and sure kill.....i've seen way too many wounded deer and hog in my time.....Respect the animal and make it as clean, painless and humane as possible......mac

Breech side of the receiver. The bolt that doesn't go through the trigger guard. The other bolt going through the stock, closest to the muzzle. If your rifle has a feed gate, same place.
That's the neutral spot on the rifle for which it's balanced off. You should be able to balance the rifle using only the front receiver bolt area to hold the rifle.

That's what I meant. A Remmy 700 picatinny sight rail. Weaver uses bases. Which are horrible.

Fine, Mr Mac. Receiver screw.
They come from the factory front heavy. When it's balanced. 50/50 front to rear. With scope or red dot. It's harmony. Fung sway' type stuff. It works with you. It's extremely nice.

As to hogs, they are vermin which I have little interest in adding to my freezer thus any hit is good.
That's why you donate the hog. If you know any Mexicans. Tell them you want 2 dozen tamales and they can have the rest.
Hogs have to be shaved. It's a nasty job. A Mexican can sharpen a piece of aluminum siding and shave it proper. Make money off it or feed their families.
