i took my good ol' mosin nagant and my 20' barrel saiga 7x62 39 hunting some hogs, and when i saw this beast at over 300 lbs for sure, at about 225-250 yds , i said let me see that mosin real quick , i shot that sucker , droped him on his ass and it rolled down hill into the creek it was laying there dead as shit with its tongue hangin out i shot many big game with my saiga but 7x62 54 r mosin is my prefered choice for dropin hogs and its only 100-150 $ ,its a one shot kill and you dont want that runnig after you if you wound it and it sees you
