Took this big boar using the .357 Benjamin Bulldog yesterday morning before daylight. I shoot 145gr Nosler Ballistic Tips on the big stuff. Hit him behind the ear... He fell right there.

85 yard shot. As he was tearing up one of the supplemental feeding areas here at the ranch.

This one won't be tearing anything else up. smile

View from where I shot him.

Nasty old boar.

Pretty good sized boar. Less than 300 pounds though, but he was all there, for sure.

$1000 plus a $170 tire pump May have to think about that one a little bit, unless the lottery comes my way.

You don't want to try keeping a big bore air rifle filled with a hand pump. I use a scuba tank and it's cheap, quick and easy.

This rifle has very similar ballistics to a 300 Blackout. It also has an incorporated silencer in the barrel shroud already, straight from Benjamin.

What would be the cost of a .300 Blackout, and then the suppressor and tax stamp? Probably a minimum of a couple grand?

Not to mention the waiting because of the "firearm & suppressor" factor.

Not for everyone, but it does offer some very nice alternatives. wink
