How to Build a Hog Hunting Rifle with the GunBroker.com Marketplace

Feral swine are responsible for hundreds of millions of dollars in agricultural damage each year. They can spread dozens of pathogens and parasites, damage the environment, and threaten drivers and domesticated animals alike. They also have thick hides, can weigh hundreds of pounds, and often sport razor-sharp tusks. Hunting these wild hogs is as much a public service as it is a pastime. That makes looking for and picking up the right hunting rifle from a seller on GunBroker.com an absolute must.

Look for the PTR 91

By name, the PTR 91 is a high-quality clone of the legendary HK 91, but practically, this Precision Target Rifle is an ideal hog hunting tool. The PTR 91 has found many advocates on the GunBroker.com online marketplace and beyond for its sturdy construction, out-of-the-box suppressor threading, and prime optics real estate. Additionally, the 308 Winchester is also a good option for long-range targets and is reliable for a clean drop.

Look for the Ruger Mini 30

The Ruger Mini 14 has thoroughly established itself as a globally reliable phenomenon. That world-famous, tough-as-nails reliability also defines its cousin, the Ruger Mini 30. Being chambered for the heftier 762x39mm cartridge makes your next Ruger Mini 30 a best-in-class brush rifle, especially when you pick it up from a seller on GunBroker.com.
