NRA Gun of the Week: Savage Arms Hog Hunter

by
posted on October 19, 2015

The Model 11/111 Hog Hunter stems from the Model 110 rifle action that has made Savage so popular. Designed with the nation's ever-growing feral pig population in mind, the Hog Hunter features a 20" barrel that comes factory threaded for any muzzle device that you might have in mind. And, starting this year, it became available in .338 Federal.

Learn more about the Hog Hunter in the video embedded above, hosted by American Rifleman's Christopher Olsen.

Field Tested: Federal Heavyweight TSS

Read on for my thoughts on this incredibly effective shotshell.
