Fat Barrel Remington 700 is the way to go! Leopold and Nikon make the best scopes IMO, but Taso has really shaped up and makes a sweet affordable one--depending on the distance you want to shoot. I--- I mean my wife has a 22-250 that has dropped Mulies, whitetail, a couple of rams, a few hogs, and piles of prarie dogs. Flat shooting, cheaper to shoot, and very deadly depending on the bullet. Nosler partition will have all the penetration and knockdown; coupled with expansion you need for hogs. The .30 cal round will do wonders and is well capable of out to 1000 meters (shooter/equip dependant). Put thousands of rounds through a Rem 700 (M-24) with a 9X Leopold, and it was locked on everytime. It has tremendous knockdown and less effected by wind/heat/humidity than the .22 cal rounds. On a different note, my Dad's old 30/30 with the duct taped stock does the job every fall! Good luck and go to the range and try some different ones! The right bullet/placement is all you need!
