New hunter here in South Florida. This is what I am thinking.

I will be hunting deer and hogs in the swamp and in heavy brush.
I'm pretty sure that distance will be 50-75 yards max
.30-30 lever maybe? .30-06 bolt-action? Savage? Remington?
Scope or no scope?
Price range is $600-ish

Can ya'll help a Florida Boy out?
