[QUOTE="Allen Kitts, post: 3041894, member: 103317"] What some consider good enough would not pass most shooters on this website's test as even marginal accuracy. I once took a guy on an elk hunt. He had lived in Montana his whole life and had never killed a bull. I had lived here for three years and had killed three bulls three years in a row and we had become pretty good friends. He asked if I would take him hunting and I said I would but he would have to go to the range with me to show his gun was sighted in before hand. He told me the gun was shooting great but he would gladly meet me there. Friday rolled around and I headed to the range to meet him. I had been there for about 45 minutes before he finally showed up. I told him I had already placed a target at 100 yards for him. He sat down with his Remington Semi Auto 30-06, flopped it across a backpack and began to blaze away as fast as he could pull the trigger, jumped up and said hows that. I could not see any holes in the target, through my very inexpensive spotting scope, so I told him we had to wait until the firing line was cold an we would go down and check. Upon further inspection he had not even hit the target. I said I thought you told me the rifle was shooting great,he said "oh that's good enough to go hunting with". Hence why he had never killed a bull elk, obviously. I think that a considerable portion of pig hunters in general, from what I have witnessed on the six or so pig hunts I have been on in Texas, feel a bullet in the pig is good enough. For me I want to shoot them in the right or left eye, depending on which way they are facing, in the center of the pupil. Different strokes for different folks I guess. [/QUOTE]
