I have a TX pig hunt scheduled in March, and I'm taking two rifles. I'm pretty good with the first rifle which is a .270 Win and that is the rifle I'll use in the stands. I just recently purchased a Marlin 336 in .35 Rem and I want to use this rifle when I'm stalking the pigs. I haven't got much range time with the 35 but I'm grouping 1.5-2 inches at 50 yds with open sights and factory ammo shooting offhand. Has anyone used the 35 Remington on pigs? I have other rifles that I could use but are my decisons good so far with my two choices? This is my first pig hunt and I could use any suggestions.
