I have 2 Colt AR's and would buy more if the right deal came along. My sons and I have a ball with them at the range. You can get scope mounts and just about anything else that you can dreamup for one.

You will want a flat top upper receiver to put a scope on the AR-15. Those mounts that put the scope above the peep sight on the carrying handle are not very solid and put the scope up so high that you have no cheek weld.

RE: Colt AR-15
i own an ar and to tell you the truth a scope is nice but those iron sights are good out to 200 yards for small target shooting (pie plate size). i wear glasses and love my scope but in the service i was trained on open sights and given a sturdy rest the .223 is a nice, easy to shoot round. a little practice and you could easily hit plates at 200 yrds with an ar. ammos cheap so don't worry about getting a scope before you start to break-her-in
you never know open sights might be the thing for you. to this day i'm a lot quicker on target with open sights than with any scope or red dot for that matter.

Colt AR's tend to be the best so you already have one of the best ARs available. I would agree with the opinions above that scopes aren't necessary for this type of firearm. What did you pay for you new rifle?
