RobRez 1,895 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I shot this 5x Whitetail this year with my S-.308. 150gr softpoint Federal ammo.I have a red dot sight and Romanian folding stock on my 16" S.308. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

YOT 3,743 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I bet it would work just fine on pigs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
txhogslayer 0 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I got mine SPECIFICALLY for wild hog hunting. I used a saiga 7.62 last year and it worked great, had a good clean shot and the bastard still ran for a few seconds. I think the .308 will take it down a lot better.

Is there mag restrictions on capacity in TX? Might have to come down and do a promo hunt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I'm pretty sure its 5 rounds for TX.. Could be more for hogs. (PS if your thinking about making a 5 round mag, you probably won't pay off your molds inside of 10 years) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

txhogslayer 0 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 No mag restrictions in Texas for Hogs. No season or bag limit either. They're a huge problem down here. I even heard a guy from Fish and Wildlife tell us to use AK's with 30 round mags, incase you get in the middle of a herd of them. They are big, mean, ugly, tough, and delicious. Let me know if you want to come down! My buddy has a spot we can go to in east Texas. Hogs + Saiga = great weekend! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BallzFast 4 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 there is a max of 3 rounds to hunt deer in md. you can use a 10 round clip but if you get caught with more than 3 rounds in it you are in trouble. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PapaSmurf 3 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Don't know of any pigs in Northern Nevada. I'm out around Fallon. I have done some Coyote hunting with my S308-1. Didn't do too bad. Farthest shot that hit was about 275 yards. Hard to tell if it was accurate. Yote was moving. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mac66 12 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I would hunt with my 308 if I could find reasonably priced 5 round mags..hint...hint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mario 0 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 In NY, semi-auto rifles are limited to 5 rounds for big game. Considering I'm looking into getting a .308 Saiga, I'd be interested in a couple 5rnd mags. Mario Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jtboss 0 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I hear there are some pigs in Nevada... I killed some pigs down in Fla. a few weeks back with my S-308. That mother has taken down everything I've shot with it,pigs,deer and a wild ass dog up in the Blueridge mountains. I have a rail on top i got from Carolina Shooters and mounted a Vortex red dot on it. The red dot has a 2X adapter with it and that's what I have on it most of the time. Money well spent.

Rhodes1968 1,638 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 They work well, take a side arm though. I use Remington Core-Lokt 150Gr SP in the Saiga or 180Gr in the Marlin XL7 if semi is illegal but any SP will do. I saw a friend of mine run across one climbing down out of a deer stand, hit it right though the eye with a 270 boltie he had just dropped a buck with and it just made the damned thing mad, he had to empty a 38 into the thing to get it down..yeah it was real close by then. Even if you are deer hunting keep an eye out for these things, one more way to get in trouble far away from help. Right at or just behind the shoulder is a good kill zone refer to the anatomy section of the site below. http://boarmasters.com/Boar_Hunting.html One proviso you may not get away with putting three or five rounds in a 10 round mag so get the size mag thats legal. Once more for emphasis ... Carry a spare mag and a side arm(40sw or larger imho) you just never know. Enjoy the pulled pork sandwiches Quote Link to post Share on other sites
