Here is a .223 cal.I think you have some ideas that are not based in reality.
Defense against wild hogs? 7.62x39 not ideal for hogs? - I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I think you have unrealistic ideas of what wild hogs are like as well as the kind of damage an intermediate cartridge will do.
"I don't reload". - Again, with how cheap reloading setups have become, why the heck not? Lee classic loaders are $25 per caliber (they make them for 223 and your 270), or $30 for a general purpose hand press that uses any standard dies. With Lee loaders, you can load just a few rounds at a time, so you only need 5 minutes (no exaggeration) to load up a couple of rounds - and the design itself keeps you from mixing up most components. It is laughably cheap, stupid simple, and takes very little time.
I would also like to know where you are finding Saigas for "Cheap"? They are $700 - $800 everywhere I see.

I bought a 7.62 here about a year ago from this place a little cheaper. Saiga had an increase shortly after I got might for $275 with shipping and FFL fee.
