Standard guts or some high speed internals?

I've hunted hogs with my BIL with M16A4gery with no issue, everything on it is standard .mil issue.

Not much that'll make a huge difference depending on your budget. What distance do you generally hunt at? A Primary Arms 1-4 might be helpful depending on ranges you shoot at and Primary Arms is great to deal with. If you hunt at night a good light would help, here's a fairly inexpensive option G2X Tactical. Make sure and call BrightFlashlights if you decide to get a light as I guarantee he'll take good care of you. I think he also carries Elzetta mounts, this one works great on a standard AR: ZFH 1500 Otherwise a sling is all I'd add, there are a ton of doo-dads you can throw on your carbine but nothing that will really make a difference for what you're after.

ETA: I'm basing my recommendations off your current optic, assuming cost is an issue. If not:

Since a long time ago if you have a depredation permit.

       No. It is illegal to hunt hogs at night,
       except landowners can get a depredation permit from the State Game
       Warden in their county that will allow them to shoot hogs at night.

Right, I know what the regs are. That's why I said IF you're hunting at night when answering the OP. I'm not sure what you're after me for as there are perfectly legal ways to hunt at night and they are clearly spelled out in the regulations.
