To answer questions/comments: re: the scope issue, I am not opposed to a red dot for hog hunting, in fact I have a couple ARs set up that way.

Frankenmauser, I appreciate your comment re the 270/30-06. As it happens, I actually do have a bunch if rifles, probably between two and three dozen in a variety of calibers and actions BUT, none in 243 and no pump actions. I do like the extra versatility of the '06 for its potential with larger game, i.e. moose and big bears. I'm still on the fence regarding the 270/30-06. Up to now I've been primarily a collector/shooter, but want to start hunting in earnest, hence all of the questions.
