Hog Hunting in Style with SIG 550 & FLIR T-50 Thermal
Updated: January 9th, 2013
Thom emailed us these photos of his high-end coyote and hog hunting rifle. His SIG 550 is fitted with a ACOG 4X32 LED behind a FLIR T-50 Thermal Sight.
The FLIR retails for about $10,000 and the ACOG for about $1,500. What a setup!
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

I am trying to get done with hog hunting in Orlando, Florida sooner than later. I just need to pay attention to the basics. Thanks for sharing this information.
A couple of questions... What was the thermal source on the target for point of aim, at 175yds? If it was an IR scope you would not need one.
It is just me, or does it seem like the ACOG is sitting pretty far back on the rifle?
A very nice setup just the same!
