Hey there, hunters! Do you want to take down hogs and other tough game like a true marksman? Then feast your eyes on the amazing .308 Winchester AR10 made by Redleg Co. Trust me, you'll be blown away by the customizations that have gone into this bad boy.


Why a 308 AR-10 for Hogs and Tough Game


Hog hunting is the use case the AR-10 was practically reborn for. Hogs come in sounders, they are tough, and the shooting is often fast and repeated. A .308


Winchester delivers the energy and penetration that big boars demand, and the semi-automatic action means the second and third shots come without breaking position while the sounder scatters. A bolt gun gives you one deliberate shot. On a Texas hog field, the AR-10 gives you the rest of them.


The tradeoff is weight, and it is real. We cover the AR-10 weight question in depth in our platform comparison linked below, but the short version is that a standard steel-barreled AR-10 runs heavy, and this build addresses it where it counts with a Christensen Arms barrel.

First off, we've got the JP FMOS™ Carrier Group with JP EnhancedBolt™. These are some of the best and most reliable components out there for AR10s. Combine that with the Radian charging handle, and you've got a gun that's smooth as silk and ready to take on anything you can throw at it.

And it doesn't stop there. The Ergo F93 Pro Stock and MFT G-27 Grip bring comfort and stability, even when you're taking down wild hogs at a distance. The Christiansen Arms 16 Carbon Fiber Barrel with 1 in 10 Twist is highly accurate, so you can ensure that when you pull the trigger, your shot will land true.

Of course, you could take your shot in any number of ways, but why not go big or go home? That's why Redleg Co. has included a Harris bipod and an Eotech Vudu 2.5 - 10 x 44mm scope. And just in case you need to make some quick changes or take the scope off to use the iron sights, there's also an American Defense Quick Detach Scope mount. Now, let me talk about the trigger, because this may be my favorite feature of all. Rise Armament's 3lb trigger pull is simply amazing. It's light, crisp, and perfect. You couldn't ask for a better trigger for high-pressure hog hunting.

And last, but certainly not least, Redleg has included an OSS BPR27GV Suppressor. When you're in the field and taking those shots at hogs, you don't want to announce your presence to the whole world. This suppressor will keep things quiet while you take out your target with precision.

And to top it off, this .308 Winchester AR10 has a Cerakote finish, because everyone knows that looking great is just as important as being great If you're looking for a weapon for hog hunting in Texas or other tough game, you won't want to pass up the .308 Winchester AR10 made by Redleg Co. It's the ultimate in customization and quality, and it will deliver the accuracy and power you need to take down even the biggest wild hogs.


Frequently Asked Questions

Is a 308 AR-10 good for hog hunting?

It is one of the best tools for the job. The .308 carries the energy tough boars require, and the semi-auto platform lets you work a sounder instead of watching it scatter after one bolt-gun shot. Add a suppressor and you extend how long the group stays in range before the noise moves them.

How heavy is an AR-10, really?

A standard AR-10 with a steel barrel runs 9 to 15 pounds scoped, before the suppressor. That is the platform's biggest honest penalty, and it is why barrel choice matters so much on a large-frame build. Carbon fiber components can bring a large-frame AR down to the 9 pound range, which turns it from a blind rifle into a packable one.

Does running a suppressor cause problems on an AR-10?

It can if the gas system is ignored. A suppressor adds backpressure to any semi-auto, which can over-gas the action and put gas in your face. Gas system tuning matters on every suppressed large-frame build, and it is part of how we set up suppressed ARs here.

What does a build like this cost?

Custom builds at Redleg run from $2,500 to $15,000 depending on components. A large-frame semi-auto with a premium barrel, Vudu glass, and a suppressor sits in the middle to upper part of that range. Every build is quoted individually, and every one leaves with load development and a verified zero.
