you can technically kill an elephant with a .22lr if youre REALLY lucky and have an absolutely perfect shot.. but reliably? no.. and will a .223/5.56 reliably take deer, boar, elk at range?.. no.. if you want to hunt big game with a rifle, youd have to step it up,
as i recommended, a 7.62mm AK, you can take any big game you want, no one ever debates its effectiveness for hunting or defense, and surplus sources for AK parts seem to be drying up.. so best to buy one now before they become more expensive

An AK is just as unsuitable for "deer, boar, elk at range?.. " as an M-4gery .... maybe moreso, given it's poorer sights, equally short barrel and shorter sight radius and dismal accuracy ...... to say nothing of the low power and poor ballistic efficiency of the round itself.... "At range"? What range? By the time that bullet has gone 100 yards, it's around the 1,000 ft/ lb mark (provided you get published 7.62x39 velocity out of the carbine length barrel- not likely) , and dropping fast......
Elk? "at range"? With an AK-47?
Just how much hunting have you done, really?
