I don't want anything much bigger, I don't want anything high end, just a solid, straight shooting all around gun to shoot anything from pigs to whatever I want. Assume my range to be 100-300 yards for most of what I'd ever do with it and suggest a reasonable scope to go with it.
Does anyone have an opinion on the Mossburg rifles out now?

I shoot a 7mm-08, great all around caliber and it doesn't kick the snot out of you. Check out Savages if you're really budget conscious or Marlin. Otherwise Weatherby Vanguard series are really nice for the money albeit more.
And a really nice scope for the money is Redfield (as long as its a US made one) or a upper level Bushnell. You get what you pay for with optics.
