I have an unexpected $300.00 in my pocket from a fantasy football windfall. I'm interested in taking up hog and possibly, in the future, deer hunting. I've only hunted ducks and rabbits in the past.
I'm thinking about picking up this savage 308:
308
Is that a Versatile enough unit for hogs and deer? Is it a decent setup for the price? Would I do better throwing my money in a cookie jar and saving for something better?
I look forward to what y'all have to say.
For your troubles.

First and foremost, I hope you ask a shite load more questions 
2nd .308 is a great cartridge for those animals. My only question is, what model savage is it?

Id pass on the Axis, but thats just me.

Spend the $300 on a good/ decent rifle and max out your spending on a scope in the future, IMO.

My old Daddy always said, "Son, Savage don't make no trash".

I have an axis in 243 and it is a tac puncher. Did buy a different scope for it though.

Got one in 7mm 08 and it's a great gun for the money. I cut a coil or two out of the trigger and put a different scope on it. Shoots great. Dropped a nanny in her tracks on the run this AM.

Do it...... you not a professional hunter. That gun will be fine for your intentions.
