22cal Airgun for Wildboar Hunting!?

[SenseiSmash]

I would be looking into:
Texan .308 and up.
AEA Zeus .457-.72 cal
But really if you are shooting on the ground I would want a big bore semiauto for quick follow-ups like the Western 457 Rattler.

You absolutely must not have such a dangerous idea. Just last month, I also bought a Stoeger .22. A few days ago, I used it to shoot 11 rabbits. If I couldn’t get a headshot, the rabbit wouldn’t die from a single shot — some of them took 3 shots to go down. You can imagine how dangerous it would be to shoot a wild boar. Not only can it not penetrate the skull, it also can’t pierce the chest. You’d only end up enraging it, and it could charge and kill you. This gun only has 32 FPE. If your .22 can push a 34-grain slug to 1000 FPS and get a headshot, then maybe it could take down a small wild boar.View attachment 555872

If your having to shoot rabbits 3 times to kill them then your just not hitting them where you should, rabbits are one of the easiest animals on the planet to kill.
