greetings. regarding the weatherby, first make certain it doesn't have salt wood. if necessary, have a gunsmith check it out. second, recoil from a 300 weatherby is more than MOST men can handle. for roe deer and hogs i'd suggest a 308win, 7mm-08 if a short action fan or 270win, 30-06 if a long action .ammo for these mentioned were readily available when i was in your country. good luck with whatever you select.
