Between a 308 or a 30-06 for hog hunting, I'd go with a .308. But, as a couple of gents already mentioned....a 30-30 would be OK for hog hunting providing you are not taking shots beyond it capabilities of its effective range.
As to the Ruger American rifle, don't own one, but I've yet to see any owner of one post something negative about the rifle that would make me hesitate buying one and I do monitor more gun websites than just the firing line about the Ruger American rifles. Would of bought one already, if it was available in a cartridge I wanted or needed.....have enough nice shooting rifles in its offerings in cartridges.
However, I do own several Marlin X bolt rifles, in different cartridges, which you should find lower priced than the American.....leastways they are around where I live in Houston, Tx area. Nothing wrong with a Marlin X bolt and a possible candidate for buying.
