Well done, by looking at the pictures you would expect a gold medal. Still good throphy.

[roverman]

very nice well done.

Didn't know they came with their own armour plated head gear? LOL

 

[Southern]

Very nice, wild-looking swine there. That looks like a Beretta 689 rifle. I bet most here, like myself, want to hear more details about the rifle, the ammunition, the method of hunting, your shots, and hunters on this outing.

 

[Klenchblaize]

Well done. All the more impressive given the well documented challenges of shooting from the left shoulder!

Theres no challenge shooting of the left shoulder I have being doing it so for the last 35+ years with some successes even with rifles built for the afflicted with the bolt on right hand side (the wrong side of the action)

Southern

You are correct It is a 689 silver sable with the cast taken of it so it shoots straight.I used 285gr Rws factory ammo .I shot this one along with 2 more smaller pigs on one drive in Serbia .I droped it with one shot and put another in it just to stop it twitching on the ground.
Southern I am also a big fan of the .444Marlin which is my goto driven boar rifle

But is this Beretta a 9.3x74R? I know they make a .444 double rifle, as does Sabatti... seems an ideal thing for boar, bear, moose, elk or big deer in timber.... or leopard.

Yes it is a 9.3 x74round

 

[Southern]

Are you using the iron sights on the Beretta and the Marlin, or a red dot, or low power scope?

 

[reiver]

Southern
I shot that boar with open sights after taking instruction from vigilare (yodda)who I was hunting with to go old school and use the force!!! Rather than the Bushnell trs 25 red dot I had on the rifle and it worked.
On my marlin I have a vxr 1.25-4 x20 circle dot which is a great sight for driven boar.

I friend of mine mounted a Leupold VX-R 1-4x20 with German #4 and red dot in Warne QR rings, on a 21-inch .375 he built for this sort of thing. It is a great DGR sight, and a great rig he has.

 

[VIGILAIRE]

I like that Bob - "use the force!" - worked for both of us that day, 9.3x74R is the biz on these boar. Chat soon, Chris.
