Savage hog hunter?
Anybody have any experience with one? I thought about using it as a medium range deer rifle maybe with a suppressor.

Re: Savage hog hunter?
Savage 10. great rifles. Not legal to use a suppressor for deer. Plenty legal for feral pigs, but not for game animals.

Re: Savage hog hunter?

Re: Savage hog hunter?
Forget the suppressor for hunting deer.
What mid range yardage? 350 yards, no problem. Other than a treaded muzzle on the HH its just another old school hunting rifle.. Back when they had open sights!! Stick a flash hider or muzzle brake and go hunting. |

Re: Savage hog hunter?
My vote is a Vias brake. 35-45% reduction in recoil depending on cartridge.
