Ok, I'm in the market to buy a new hunting rifle in the next few months that I would like to use for deer and wild hogs in east Texas (Dense undergrowth) and I have a few questions.
1.) I've heard quite a few good things about Savage firearms. Is there a discernible difference between a savage that's 100 cheaper than a remington of the same caliber? (As far as reliability, quality, etc)
2.) What's a good all around caliber for the type of hunting I previously described? I've heard that 7mm is gaining popularity but I've also heard that it can damage meat pretty badly.
3.) Is it worth to go with a mag? (Considering the wild hogs)
