Putting down an aggressive hog (400 lbs) doesn't require a heavy caliber rifle. Watch Jim Thomas displays excellent markmanship while taking down a 400 pound wild hog.
What is surprising is that Jim was only using a subsonic .22LR bullet. To be exact he was sporting a suppressed Ruger 10/22 rifle equipped with an ATNX-Sight for night vision. Like a seasoned hunter Jim waited for the hogs to show and loitering at the bait area.
From 50 yards away Jim spots the big hog among others that had been giving them problems on his property in the past.
With great skills Jim puts a .22 round into the temple of the hog and puts it down on the spot. See the rest of .22 subsonic.
Thanks. Im thinking of replacing the barrel on the standard 10/22 with something along those lines. Its topped with a Nikon Rimfire BDC so its pretty darned accurate now.
But Id like to be able to depend on it a bit farther out than I can now. I can make reliable hits out to about 75 yards the way its set up now. I did replace the stock trigger. To my mind thats the most important mod one can make on almost any gun and its the first thing I do.
A clean consistent trigger break is critical IMO.
Thanks for the info.

I’ll say a prayer for you, my friend.
Is anything specific wrong, or is it just a check-up?
At 600 bucks I’m very interested.It would be vey useful on my suppressed MP5A3.
True - I've read that the .22 Hornet is popular with the Inuit (plus, it can be reloaded ;^)...

Now trying to find a value priced IR illuminator....
Damn what a heavy bullet proportionately
The ATN comes with one.
The subsonic ammo will cycle the 10/22?
Dunno...last I heard he beat her on the street and she claimed self defense....1995-ish Rose City neighborhood North Little Rock, AR during the crack epidemic. HBO show "Banging in Little Rock" filmed from the murder scene in broad daylight.

Yep - I like to use it in one of these:
Savage 87A, late '40s - early '50s semi-auto. You can see the charging handle doubles as a breech crossbolt, allowing locked-breech shots with low-power ammo. Long barrel, too - both the Aguila subsonic and the CCI Quiet .22 make less noise than the average airgun.
Thanks for the memories!
The Stevens 87A and a Marlin 39A were the sweetest rifles I ever shot. Marlin had custom finished stock. Loved shooting it with one hand.
Only complaint(87A) was when sear wore down, it would go auto(2-3 rds.) and jam.
Worst day was selling both, in 59.
I thought as an eye witness, you’d be apt to have to testify and therefore know.
Perhaps she turned her life around? One can only hope.
All day long, with no problems from a factory Ruger 10 round rotary mag.
Yeah. Minute of man at 200 yards could find some use.

Seems like a fair price. I wonder if anyone makes a 1:9 barrel for the 10/22 Takedown? Hmm.
You don't testify if you don't go to trial......or the prosecutor didn't file charges...or she died....on the lam? ? I don't know. Don't care. They got our name and statement and subpoenaed the video tapes and that's the last we heard. Don Hill at Don's Weaponry, Inc in NLR
