A Mossberg 500 is a lot better for that -- not playing ''soldier'' with an overpriced weapon marketed toward play-solders. That is a military style weapon made for killing people -- not for game or varmint hunting.
It's just a dumbed down version of a M-16. No 3 round burst or full auto-fire.

.223/5.56 is VERY common for both mid-sized game and varmint hunting.
The AR-15, in various calibers, is one of if not THE most popular rifle among hog hunters in the U.S. It's also the #1 rifle used in 3-Gun competitions. I was hunting deer with one over 20 years ago.
