I have a whole cabinet full of guns and I love my Browning Abolt II 7mm rem mag. It will do the trick on anything you want to shoot in north america. I won a Remington XCR 7mm SAUM at an Elk Banquest a couple years ago and I have used it ever since. Finding the right bullet was the key to me liking it, since I switched to a Nosler Partition I have yet have an animal take more than a step after impact from ranges of 50 yards to over 300. The only trouble I have found with it is finding ammunition for it.

As far as hunting just hogs and deer you don't have to go that big. I bought my wife a Remington Model 7 youth model SS .260 and it will kill a hog graveyard dead without even trying hard. The key to killing hogs that I have found is shot placement. Shoot 'em in the ear and they don't go anywhere.

I love guns and have various calibers from 243 to 300 WSM and the most fun to shoot is the 260, most practical is my 7mm Rem Mag, Most used is the 7mm SAUM and most fun to own is my Savage NRA speacial edition 300 WSM.

All that to say this, if you are just going to hunt hogs and deer I would go with the 270 or 7mm. If you may go out west you may want to look into the 7mm, 30-06, or 300

This is of course my opinion and does not mean much. Hope this helps
