This ARF Will Hunt! Rock River Ascendant All-Terrain Hunter Rifle

The AR-15 may be “America’s Rifle,” but bolt-action rifles rule the day when it comes to harvesting game for the freezer. But what if you’re harvesting game for the good of the ecosystem?

“When it comes to invasive species,” says the XDMAN, “the name of the game is eradication.” Right now, the chief offenders are wild boars–an incredibly destructive species. Feral swine can destroy entire crops practically overnight, and spread diseases to livestock and pets. Hogs can carry over 30 diseases and over 40 types of parasites, many of which can spread without direct contact. On top of that hogs are the perfect eating and breeding machine that multiply faster than most other large mammals. Population estimates at the time of this writing are 6 million plus, and that number is growing exponentially in a way that would make Malthus sob.

With this kind of threat you need all the fast-shooting, no-reloading firepower you can get. An old-school bolt-action will just not get the job done on a herd of scurrying, tough-skinned squealers. That’s where Rock River Arms enters the picture and transforms the modern sporting rifle into the ultimate ALL Terrain Hunter (ATH) rifle. In this great video, James Nicholas (the UnpewFessional Himself!) shows you how America’s Rifle, the AR, is the ultimate hog eradication tool.
