Lol if you want I can check if it’s available.

Just found it funny, looking at the wild boar and you being in France and all.

Nice one Methos! What are they like to eat?

I submit that he's only eligible after posting a pic of a boar on a spit!

That hog looks much more formidable than the feral hogs we have here in Florida. Congrats on a good shot and a good hunt.

Thanks for sharing..nice one.

Very nice! What calibre, rifle and optic combination are you using?

**Methos** · 27-09-2018, 10:04

Socrates

The rifle is a Marlin XS7. The scope came with the rifle. a 3x9 I think. Might be a Bushnell. Not a great scope but I seem to be able to shoot with it and I won't be attempting shots of more than 150m at the longest! I might upgrade next year because they will be making the National Hunting licence a lot less expensive and I might go to the Alps and Corsice for mouflon and chamois. Will check.

The bullets were Winchester Super X 180gr.

They seemed to have worked very well. The shot didn't go exactly where I wanted but it was moving a quite a clip.
