Well to have my scope on my current flattop, I had to buy a riser because it didn't clear the rail. Even with high rings. So i was wondering if there were guns more purpose built for a scope instead of a red dot.
That is simply a matter of using the correct mount for your optic.
It has nothing to do with the gun being 'built for' a red dot or for a scope.
Can you please quantify what you are expecting, accuracy/precision wise, out of the rifle?
By quantify I mean numbers. Facts. Not subjective undefined terms like "extreme precision".
What do you expect/want to get out of the rifle?
People here are trying to help you, trying to hold you by the hand, but you aren't being very helpful. If you put shit in, you get shit out.

as far as accuracy goes, an inch at 100 yards would be nice, but the best I can reasonably get would be awesome. I just have a nikon p-223 on it for now, but might upgrade to something nicer when the funds become available. I know my question is vague, but it just seems that there would have to be uppers that are more useful with a scope, and others that are more useful with a red dot. For instance, what barrel length should I look into? I'm not intending on carrying this rifle or using it for anything other than paper punching at a range, so weight isn't a factor, and neither is portability. So are the same companies (DD BCM etc) that are good for general use with a red dot good for more ranged use too?

An inch is pretty optimistic for an AR15 @ 100 yards, even with a quality gun. 1.5 to 2.5 MOA is little more realistic.
it is? I always hear about people getting that kind of accuracy. either way, 2 inches would make me happy. The only reason I don't like my red dot at range is the dot covers such a large area I can't get any kind of accuracy at a range.
