30-06 is a lot of rifle for hogs . Most of your shooting will either be at night over bait, maybe 75 yards? And walking up through bottom land and scrub, where a lever gun will give you quicker follow up shots. I don't know what your deer ranges are but the 30-30 will take any deer in NA at the ranges 95% of people should be ethically hunting at, especially with Hornady's Leverevolution ammo and components. If you're a confident 300 yard shot and plan on hunting elk, moose, brown bear and such, the 30-06 will serve you well.
