I have a firearm question for you guys, becuase I like the answers given on previous gun questions here, and because we all get along. =D I was about to register and post this on a gun forum but it was very hostile, I was not feelin it.

I am looking at savage weather warrior series rifle 6.5-7.5lbs before scope etc., it comes in
223 Rem (1 in 9") twist
243 Win (1 in 9.25")
7mm-08 Rem(1 in 11.5")
308 Win, 300 WSM, 250 Savage, 300 Savage (1 in 10")
270 WSM (1 in 11")
22-250 Rem (1 in 12")
204 Ruger (1 in 12")

I am most interested in the 243, 7mm08, 308, and 270.

I am looking to shoot from prairie dogs up to hogs at 200+ yards
And possibly some long range 500+ yd target shooting just for fun.

I want to prioritize in this order

Abilitity to kill a hog,
low recoil,
flat shooting round,

I would be shooting factory ammo, im not into reloading just yet.

I would like your opinion on this matter, but would be willing to listen to all gun make/models and all cal rounds. So just voice you opinion.


Get out and fish.
