Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

If your going to do just a little hunting at night w/ a light, pick your favorite long gun. If you want to put a hurting on em then definately go with an AR type weapon. I have three in 6.5 Grendel. Rarely do I use a long gun anymore... unless there is a day time opportunity to take one at long ranges.

Dave x2 I've been leaving my long gun in the safe in favor of an AR in 6.8x43 with a 20" 5R 1/12 barrel. It's good out to 300 pretty easily and being an AR, has plenty of followup shots if/when needed. And I don't worry about scratching the furniture or getting it wet/muddy either...

which ever one you can hit with. Bullet placement!!!
 It's the time spent in God's creation with family and friends making memories that counts.

For that amount of cash you could get a Bushmaster .308 Optics Ready Carbine ( = AR10 ), but you could easily get by with something like a 7mm-08, .30-30, .270, .30-06, or a .308. You could also get a 6.8SPC or a .458 SOCOM. There are lots of choices. I tried an AR-15 and thought it just didn't hit hard enough. There are many others who disagree and think it's a great hog rifle.
Personally I'd recommend something that shoots at least a 120 grain bullet.
I use 180 grain .30 caliber bullets. With that much mass I don't need premium bullets, any soft point will do the job. I have not yet had a bullet fail to exit. The last time I was out I got two with one shot!
I have two unwritten rules:
1.
2.

many guns would work well, i'm liking my 6.8 with Barnes 95gr TTSX bullet or 120gr Hornady SST's...low recoil, works well, currently setup with a 7.62x40WT but can switch the PVS-14 around to other guns, but I would definitely go with an AR platform:
