Still waiting for it to arrive at my local FFL (which I understand they are known for, the wait that is). And while I realize this isn't the faciest hotrod rifle out there, it seems to be a solid piece.
Anyways, its primary use will be recreational target/plinking with a requirement to be available for HD and such. It comes with a f-marked front A2 sight along with Magpul MBUS rear sight. I fully intend to utilize the stock sights during break in and to get used to them but I'd like to hear some discussions about good multi-purpose sights. I like the idea of a low to no magnification red dot but if I ever have to grab it for HD would be concerned about the extra step of turning it on. I come from a pistol and shotgun background and have NEVER run optics or other whizbang gadgets and am partial to keeping it simple.
Thoughts on eschewing red dot type optics for HD use? What sight setup would be recommended? The carbine has a flattop weaver rail with f-marked A2 front sight. Keep stock sights? Replace front, rear or both? I'm very new to the AR and have done lots of reading but have lots to do still.... Can't wait to start putting rounds down range!
If you do not want to have to deal with turning an optic on and off, here is the one for you - the HOLOSUN 403A. It has an auto wake feature that automatically turns on the scope when it is moved and an adjustable 8 hour auto-shutoff. I have one on one of my ARs. It cannot be any simpler to use.

As far as sights go, leave what you have. The MBUS and the FSB will work well together and with the optic.
