Currently, after 5 years of owning shotguns, I can get a rifle license. Rifle me only necessary for hunting (rare - for the shooting range).

The main dilemma is which caliber to choose. The most common in Russia are 308 Win and 30.06 Spr. What is typical caliber used for such purposes in US?
Here in virginia most hunt with 12 gauge shotgun. That's mainly deer hunting. Sw portion of the state does boar hunting, but don't know what they use.
