My uncle is in his late 50's and started shooting a lever action .243 for hunting white tail and hogs also. He favors the lighter rifle and less recoil over the heavier and more dropping power of the 30-06 he was shooting. He was telling me its just more challenging because the shot placement is more important now instead of just dropping it like a rock with the 30-06. I can see the appeal with the lever guns, just I have never had tons of hands on time with one. Different strokes and different folks...He has invited me to exterminate hogs on his lease at the end of February. I am taking my AR and my CETME, so exterminating I will do. I want to take some long shots with open sights with my CETME and mow them down with my AR. He just laughed because a friend of mine is coming and him. He is going for lease maintenance and we are going just to shoot. He said shoot as many as we could b/c they have a problem on their lease and the guy that owns the property said he wants them gone. I am going to keep two small ones and give the rest away at the camp.

is there a newer caliber that you DO have an interest in or, if it ain't broke don't fix it?
