A recent discussion on Jesse’s Hunting and Outdoors forums got me thinking about this topic, and I remembered I’d started writing this quite some time ago. With little else going on (even the Lead Ban stuff is slow right now), I figured why not dust it off and finish it up?
I’ll preface this with the acknowledgement that I’m not a big fan of semi-autos for hunting (I have enjoyed plinking with both semi and full-auto firearms, they’re a kick in the britches to shoot). I own a couple, and use them from time to time, but I much prefer my bolt and lever-action rifles. That said, I don’t have issues with someone else using them, as long as they’re used safely.
Semi-automatic rifles offer one really obvious benefit to the hog hunter, so I’ll start with that… rapid follow-up shots.
