After tomorrow I will have my first AR. I was going to mount my cheap red dot that is on my 10/22 on it, but some idiot, as in me, stripped the mounting screw, so for now it's married to the 10/22. So I am wanting just a cheap scope or red dot to mount on it for now. Looking for recommendations. Second, for a beginner with rifles, would you recommend a red dot or traditional scope to start with. Thanks!
