I know a chap who has been to Croatia a couple of times with a Marlin lever action in .45-70. The first time the locals took the rise out of him to start with but he soon put a stop to that when he knocked over one or two of their pigs with it...
[FONT="]I am also off to Strizivojna[/FONT] in Croatia on Thursday, driven boar and jackel, the revier is called [FONT="]Merolino so I do hope you have fun tooThanks for the heads up. On the plane tomorrow so decision made on 270 wsm with Winchester gxp3 large heavy game
Just got back from an excellent trip with the Adria hunt, a group of good people from uk, Germany and Austria. Wonderful memories and laughs, managed to be the envy of the group with a big keilor but in reflection I took the wrong cal.
shooting through the scrub and forestry, is not for the 270wsm, it seems the heavier cals used by our euro friends will push through the scrub and the blaser would have been a wiser choice for the cycle/reload time, but is no match for their semi auto large cals.
Those pigs take some putting down, hardy beasts which run on even with major organ damage, it's unbelievable.
The ceremonial horns and presentations including my surprise for my first boar are fantastic.

Congratulations, but as for choosing the wrong calibre, that boar looks pretty dead to me...
