We used Win Model 100 in .308 and a Saiga 12 gauge Slug-gun last year in Texas scrub country to take several Hogs. This year we will use a Ruger 44 mag carbine (wife) and a Ruger Mini-30 7.62x39mm for me. I carry a Charter 44 Spl in a holster for 'back-up', and the 308 will be available if the guide thinks that power is a better choice.
Your 44 mag carbine should do fine in brush country. The Military rifles are powerful enough, but my be a bit un comfortable in close in country.
Much depends on the landscape where you are hunting.
