Boar shooting advice..
From Pigeon Watch UK Forums -> Boar shooting
Do you think a .177 airgun at 30ft/lb's could stop them? (my uncle wants to know)
Only if it choked on it..

Have a pop at one of these fellows with an air rifle shows a certain degree of ......eerrrrr........stupidity! However, unless said air rifle is held on a FAC, it will be limited to 12 ft/lbs!
I'd have thought a .270 would do fine, but given that these fellas can bit a little 'fruity' to say the least, I'd have thought something like a 7.62 / .308 or .300 Win Mag might well be in order!

I wouldn't go after a boar with anything smaller than a .45 ACP. Preferably a 30-06 rifle.
