[QUOTE="Oklahomabassin, post: 2109975, member: 1546"] Accuracy is more important than caliber. I say this with lots of experience in the woods and not from just playing it out in my mind. A M1A, M1Garand, or AR 10 if you have to have semi auto capibility and .30 caliber. I used a 45-70 for awhile and wasn't really impressed. I use a bolt action 30-06 nearly as often as my M1A now. I have killed a few with a .223 as well. I can tell you a bad placed shot from a .50 (with sabot) caliber 270 grain Barnes TMZ at over 2000 fps will only slow a big boar down. But a well placed shot from a pistol (.357 sig) put him down. Yes that 336 will work too. A man that knows how to work a lever action and shoot effectively will be just a touch slower than semi auto.
