Those are fine arse rifles.
.22 wmr if you want to kill stuff (anything) out to 100 yards and not too concerned about head shots
.17hmr if you plan to eat anything you shoot with it. Must shoot in head.
I've never seen a .22 mag that wasn't ammo-picky at best, some being really high quality rifles. Every 17 I've shot on the other hand has been 2 MOA or better with any ammo and generally more around 1 MOA. The 22 mags I've had never shot that good. Really excellent varmint killing round, just more for varmint control and not for hunting. Both are far too destructive on small game without headshots and IMO you have a better chance of doing that with a .17

Don't sleep on the 17hm2 (Mach 2). I have a 17hmr, and find myself using the Mach 2 more frequently. Ammo is much cheaper, and it's available in more than just a regular hollow point. The Hornady v-max is great for small game at 2100fps.

Built a MK12 clone in .224 Valkyrie. Has a Wilson 20” barrel and shoots like a laser. Ammo is easy to find and similar in price to hunting 5.56 rounds. My son has killed a few deer with it and some hogs. It’s a 1000 yd gun. You can use 556 suppressor with it.

Thermal sight for the 10/22 and use cci suppressor ammo. maybe get a new rotary mag if yours is older.
Set a 25 yard recticle and a 100.
for pigs, i like the ruger ranch 300. Never lose casings if that matters. No cycle issues unlike the savage and ARs.
