Thanks L2S. I got into this one kind of oddly. I had been using a ruger 10/22 lr forever for the same thing. My buddy bought it almost new from a fella that needed money. He didn't do the hog thing but he loved to go to camp and ride around in the boat in the swamp with us. I would use it just because he was there. When he moved to CO a couple years later he said "well, you might as well buy that rifle - you used it more than anybody".
