I left a more subtle hint as to the maker / model in a previous post. Here is a link to Mike's website..hopefully it's not against the rules for me to post this here: http://www.undergroundsw.com/page11.php He has since changed the company name to BlackOps Precision, but their website isn't up yet and all the contact information / rifle specs should be the same. The quick / dirty: It's a custom action from Defiance Machine, 18" Bartlein, Proprietary Reamer in .308, Surgeon bottom metal, Timney trigger, Manners MCS-T stock, and a NF 2.5-10x24 riding up top. Best, Ishi JYD #121 The chief cause of unhappiness and failure is trading what you want most in life for what you want at the moment.

We (rural eastern Kentucky) are just now seeing a lot more feral pigs and can legally shoot them year-round (with a valid hunting license, of course).

Dumpster Dan Junk Yard Dog Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 6,743 Ohio	Quote Yesterday was a wild success. Father and I saw this big boy come out about 550 yds away right at dusk. We quickly ran 100 yds, deployed the bipod, set up on a road that crosses a highline, turned on the lit reticle (the dark was creeping in and I couldn't see the black reticle against his body), ranged him at 450yds, dialed 3 Mils and sent a 168 grn SMK flying....DRT. My best (and most exciting) shot to date on a live animal. For those not familiar with shooting, 3 Mils @ 450 yds is just over 49" of bullet drop at that range. I was carrying my CAMO 511 in a Rainwalker sheath. We measured his chest at 48", which estimates to about 280 lbs. Not huge, but a very nice trophy where we hunt. That is one heck of a polk...450 yds. Very Cool Congrats on that shot Dan

The ferals out here carry far too many nasties (letosporosis as a start) for me to willingly dine on one. And they eat lost of carrion so tend to take on some of that rotting dead shyte flavour.... now....back in the day wee would occasionally pen up a medium to smaller sized wild porker and grain feed it for a couple of weeks, that use to clean it out a bot and improve the flavour. Then impale it on a spit and Bob's U'r Uncle... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

OP Ishikawa Junk Yard Dog Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 3,887 Austin, Texas	Thanks guys. I have to admit it felt good to land that shot on the fly (ie: not previously ranged, setup, etc). The training came together...but I have a LONG ways to go. Re: eating. We don't eat the large boars. They require a lot of work to get the taste right. We donate the boars to a local family that prepares them for family / friends in need. We like to eat the 50-80 lb piggies. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Female preferred. They are DE-LISH! We only got one small boar in that size range last weekend...but we ended up donating him as well.
