I own a Ruger 1911, a Ruger Mark .22 from the'70s, and my EDC for 4.5 years - Ruger SR9C. My Glockaholic friends call me a Rugeraholic.
Just recently I bought my first AR. Wanna guess? Yes, a Ruger AR556. Please know I am totally green about ARs. I want to get a red dot scope on it before shooting it. Here's where I need some advice. The front sight, as you know, is on the A-frame gas piston (is that what it's called?). Obviously the red dot scope has to be raised. I'm told some red dot scopes can be adjusted to have the dot on the front sight, as in if the battery dies you are still sighted in. I would like advice on which inexpensive red dot scope to buy for my Ruger AR556. Thanks for all the help.
