THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT 
Old gun here-not so pretty anymore. 10.5" barrel, 5.56mm, Shark Suppressor Hammerhead 5.56, TA-01 NSN ACOG. I like a lightweight gun for moving quick and most times we get close enough to the pigs that the short barrel doesn't hurt the performance. I use an ANVIS tube PVS-14 at night with an IR laser/IR illuminator- in this photo there is an old HTH-212 IR setup attached. Above the gun is a hand held thermal imager that we cobbled together. We can see pigs at 850 yards on good nights and we can cover thousands of acres a night with it. Its nice to scan fields from the truck and then use a NV optic to sneak up on them... I'll be posting more about the thermal camera in another post soon. Its a DIY system that costs around $1200. Karma |

Happy with my 7.5 is an understatement! Just finished it and once I got it dialed in... it shoots cloverleafs.
Now... if I only had friends who could take me hog hunting. hmmmmmmm.

First pic is a 18 in Larue stealth with a AAC m4-2000 topped with a gen III d-760 with a hand select Itt pinnacle tube. With it is a hand selected itt pvs 14 on one of Vic's helmets, and a gen III mum on another one of Victors helmets. Second pic is a .308 Fulton upper with a AAC 7.62 can with a Leo 6.5x20 mark 4 with larue spr mount and otal 2 visable laser. I've got a Larue qd rail riser on the 760 so I can go back and forth with the NV scope. I usually hunt in S. Texas were you can see 7-800 yards on 4 way sandero's. We go helmet mounted for scanning then use the 760 for long range spotting. Once the hogs are spotted we get the wind right and begin the stalk. Karma I'd love to hear more about the thermal set up.

Darn, I just posted some info on it in the NV forum and I said the same thing... "DIY thermal" post coming soon. I was waiting to get another one in to build up the whole system and do the post- I guess I'll take a system apart and put it back together so I can get this posted. The short and simple is you can build a hand-held, honest-to-goodness long wave IR imager system for hunting for less than $1500 if you can find the core at a decent price and follow the wiring instructions. We have killed quite a few pigs with this old system and its the most important item I pack when we go out after the hogs. |

The Eotech optic is excellent for early dawn and late dusk swine eradication!

It is a SIG 556 in 5.56mm NATO with a 16" 1:7 Twist nitrided barrel with an Eotech 512 and Gen III 3X magnifier, I've since put an ACE folding stock on it.

I have my first Hog hunt a month from today. I have a Larue OBR on order, however I proably will not have the new gun in time. So I will be using my .308 DPMS.
I will not post a pic until I have killed a Hog with it. So please consider this my place holder if all goes well.
