I built a 16" 300 BO specifically to shoot hogs on my next trek to visit my best friend in East Texas. I used a Stag lower, pSA nic-boron BCG, PSA upper and flip sights, Midwest Ind Gen 2 SS slim rail and a Rainier Select Stainless polygon rifled medium weight barrel, topped with a Veltor extended compensator. The rifle. Shoots like a dream (carbine gas and Spikes T1 buffer) as it has a different feel than a 5.56. When it hits a can of chicken soup at 100 yards (15.5 W 296 with pulled GI 147 gr bullets) fun things happen. In the future I plan to expand my chicken soup hunting to include a Texas hog or two, or three and have full confidence the300 BO will do just fine.
