A virgin no more

I sighted in the Eotech around 2:00 between rain storms, and she downed 3 piggies in about 15 seconds that evening.

Way to go Mark!

You don't have any "post-mortem" pictures do you?

Nice work, dude! :P

Yeah, details are much hoped for around the campfire here...performance of the weapon and ammo (especially) is valuable knowledge to everyone. More, please?

Details;
South Texas between Floresville & Pleasanton.
Post dove hunt right at dusk after a previous night of 4 inches of rain.
Their dirt ain't like our dirt in North Texas, you can actually still drive on it down there!
I was with my two sons(30 and 27) which made this weekend special, even more special was helping sight in a new scope on my dad's Remington 760 pump 30-06 for one of the boys to take elk hunting with us later this month.
Earlier that afternoon we had sighted in a Eotech EXPS3-2 for zero at 75 yards on my 16" Bushmaster upper on a Rock River lower. Hornady factory 250 gr FTX ammo. All I had with me was the factory 5 shot mag.
Just as we are finishing cleaning birds one of the boys spot pigs about 150 yards away, conditions could not have been better, slight breeze in our face, a slew of running rainwater between us and the pigs falling into a ditch making a loud roar, we loaded the 06 and the 450 and took off trotting. Had to wade through the knee deep slew and got to within about 40 yards and the pigs started moving at a trot, not alarmed or on to us, just moving. Fortunately they were moving our way, coming under a fence still trotting, distance now about 35 yards, I put the red dot on one nose and pulled the trigger and it was popcorn piggies! About 15 of them squealing and scattering every direction including right at us. Hint; I tried shooting at one that was angling very close to me but you have to be swinging really fast so I missed. I turned and picked a large one crossing about 60 yards away, put the dot on his nose and down he went. I turned and the pig that had been close to me was now about 40 yards off running straight away, one shot tumbled her, unable to move her hindquarters. Too dark and out of bullets! Somewhere along the way I had fired all 6 shots. One of my boys had also downed a pig with the 06. 4 pigs total in about 15 seconds, a black rifle gunners dream! I will include a pic of the gorgeous sunset that I had snapped just before the pigs were spotted. Pigs appeared in the trees to the far left of the pic, you can see the water we had to go through.
