If you will reload, I'd consider a 35 Rem. I've got 3 Marlin 336 in 30-30, 35 and 356 and also a Browning BLR in 308. For a short range hog, deer and plinker the 35 would be a pretty good choice. Can load it down to 357 mag or load it up to the 220 Speer and shoot nearly anything if you keep the ranges close enough.
