Thread: What would your ultimate Bush Pig rifle build be and what NZ gunsmith would you use?

You don't need to be spending big $$ on a custom rifle that is going to be hacked around in the bush, and it would only shoot as well as the Ruger in the end anyway.

Just shot a mates 300 AAC yesterday with a leupold Vx hog scope.They have a really coarse cross hair which I hated,It made it very hard to align the scope in the same place as the cross hairs obscured most of where you wanted to aim.I much prefer the leupold dedicated blackout scope on mine
