.22LR should not really be a consideration if targeting pigs or goats. Sure it might do in a pinch, or if you were a professional, but choosing a .22lr as your first rifle with the intention of taking it out after pigs and goats, imo is not good form.

I mean it can certainly do in a pinch with the right shot placement, loads of people will take a shot at a deer or a pig or whatever if they stumbled across one while out after small game with a .22- but its the choosing it for that purpose that is the issue, imo.
Kind of like picking the smallest hooks possible (like sprat hooks) and going snapper fishing..yea you will catch some, and its not illegal, but its real poor form.

A .223 or 7.62x39 would be a much better choice. Maybe even a cheap and cheerful used .22lr for a couple hundred $ (TOZ for example) and some sort of basic .223 etc aswell.
