You’d really want something bigger for hogs and deer. Never known anyone who hunts deer with .223. You really want one of options in thirty caliber.

While I’m sure someone hunts rabbits with a rifle you’d really use a shotgun or a really small rifle for them.

.223 is a good coyote round though. There are better coyote rounds available and there are better coyote rifles in .223.

.300 Blackout for hogs.

You can get an AR-15 chambered for this, or easily swap a few parts if you already have one.

AR-15’s are popular because it’s an easily modifiable platform. It’s not the best for any one thing, but it’s pretty good at a variety.

I’ve taken deer with 556. Even if I hadn’t, I know people do because all the heavy loads sell out around deer season.

Actually, are we allowed to shoot coyotes in the city limits? Alligators are mostly chill and will just take off, but coyotes hunt around at night here.
