I shoot on a private lease in Florida, and for hogs close in or very early/late in the day, an open sighted .30-30 is hard to beat. I've shot a Marlin .444T for years, but really don't see the need for either the heavy bullet or equally heavy recoil. The old .30-30 still does the trick with a shot to the neck. If I'm shooting along a right of way (gas or power lines) I'll use my .260.

"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown
