As for people not using the AR for a hunting rifle, I beg to differ.
It is THE most common varmint rifle I come across, and some also use it for larger game (white tail deer). I occasionally use mine for that, and it works.
As for ranges, my personal experiences 75% of my shots are sub 100 yards, the rest are in the 250-300 range. Personal best is 435 yards on a white tail buck. That was with a Remington model 700 30-06 and Leupold 3-9X40 scope.

You didn't read all of what was written, as I put it, people use the AR to fuck off and exterminate pest animals like boars and varmints as you put it. Not exactly game hunt, more similar to going pop squirrels with a 22. 223 isn't legal for use on deer and other large game in all states, so you have to watch yourself there.
