I'm looking for a lightweight rifle for hunting hogs and deer. I have looked at the winchester trapper and ranger models, the ranger seems like the better choice with the longer barrel. Also the marlin lever actions. Anyone know any affordable lightweight rifles?

calibers too, I know I want a caliber at least .30 or larger. so thats like 7mm, 30-06, 308, 30-30 etc...which would be a good one? or would they all pretty much work on hogs? I've hunted hogs a lot in Hawaii, and my friends claim the 30-30 doesnt work well on hogs, they claim the bullets dont mushroom and pass straight through the hog causing minimal damage. what does everyone say about this?
