Thread: Educate me on bushpigs

@Been Upto, are you confused yet?

Hmm I never knew short suppressed rifles(and their nomenclature) were such a delicate subject....

Bushpigs or carbines?

I think i should say- by bushpig I actually meant short rifle. Not the other.
God knows I'm no oil painting.

Bushpigs - commercial name from nzhunter to make money

In the real world, a rifle shortened and suppressed, barrel shortened so with a suppressor fitted ends about the same length as standard and not a pain in the arse in the bush.
Bushpigs generally have 16in barrels or there abouts, still plenty of performance with the right projectile and shooter for 450 - 500m
Micky Duck - long time bush big hater and generally writes a novel on the subject about his hatred for them.
In the real world what's not to like about a 16in lightweight suppressed 308 pushing 178gr eldm @ 2420fps holding 1027ftlb @ 575yards? That should literally cover all general hunting conditions if you work on the fact 9 times out of 10 you can get to 500y or under before having to take the shot

308 is the only decent cal for one and as smiddy says forget chasing fps and go heavy you want it to be able to romp through bushes, twigs and foliage if need be without shredding itself on a flower.
And yes Im a silly old cunt

Hey Sidney, in a bit tired of the personal insults you hurl at others that arise from your conceit and contempt.

Just play nice please, we'll all be better off.

Oh piss off you sensitive wee flower... Now you see that is an insult, but probably if you only really are insecure enough to think that you might just be a sensitive wee flower...

Saying "bullocks" is actually only addressing an argument, its not an insult at all.

Suggesting a hairy male might be a sensitive wee girl, is a non-sensical insult. If you want to be insulted by that your logic is weak. Sneeze's isn't but you want to be for him? Oh what a empathetic wee flower you are... (thats a non gender specific pc version insult)

Pretty sure Sneeze doesn't need you to save him... and playing nice will bore this forum to death... so why don't you develop a constitution instead, or just learn to control your obsession about how others interact?

I object to your behaviour irrespective of sneeze. It would be great if you would change tack as your repertoire is predictably boring and not nearly as eloquent as you"d like to think.

In so far as eloquence is concerned... I'm afraid your opinion of that counts little.

My style clearly pisses you off but I really don't care that you object... Suck it up you weird little control freak...

Im a fan of the catty arguments, it give prior warning of peoples temperament/red flags to who to avoid in the buy/sell/exchange area

seems as tho we have drifted off topic tho, my new carbine ruger american 450BM with a 16 inch standard barrel will make a fine hog medicine
anyone else gone down this route and know of a suitable suppressor?

Nice.

Hey there Sidney. Its just a request...is it really that difficult to moderate your behaviour?

I'm not annoyed...I'd just prefer to use the forum as its intended. I see this as the role of a moderator.

Direct your control freak comment towards yourself matey...you may learn something. Projection is a little term that will point you in the right direction.

Lets get back to the hunting aye.

Arguing with the pedantic ones on here is like arguing with your wife. Complete waste of time. Treat them the same way and just ignore the dribble they spout.
