Own one but don't hunt with it.

I own and hunt with one on occasion. I use irons and am comfortable at killing deer and hogs to 150. 200 is stretching it with irons for me.

I am hopeful that there is a chance that the other 76 ChatRabbits don't hunt with a commie rifle.

I'm looking at the IO M214 which is American made. Also looking at a 6.8 spc. I want a cool hog rifle.

Own one. Don't hunt with it. Although, I would shoot at a hog at 200 yards with a slingshot if given the chance.

I'm looking at a Mini-30 instead of the AK.
It's the same caliber.

Maybe off-topic, but a lot of the 300 Blackouts have really dropped in price, as has the ammo.

Pretty decent ballistics for hogs out to 200 yards & decent capacity for follow-up shots (in case you encounter a big "flock" of 'em).

What about a 7.62x39 upper on an AR platform?

this is a great all around caliber. especially for hogs.

my cousin built a 12" 6.8 specifically for helicopter hunting because 5.56 wasn't stopping them

i've got a Ruger 6.8 and it is a nice gun

Maybe an AK with iron sights, but I've never been a fan of the way scopes mount on the AK platform.

My Dad used to kill deer with his SKS and never had any problems.

I think 100 yards would be really pushing it to make an ethical shot with an AK iron sites.
