I'm no expert-but from what ive learned checking into buying my first(a s&w 15 sport)is the front sight is not easily removable,but with any scope over 3 power-u wont even see it.I also got tons of different opinions on what to start with, but heard alot of good about the one i bought.From what I gather, most will be sufficiant for a casual shooter-hunter.If u really get into them and shoot alot or think u need it to live thru the apocolypse you may need to spend more than 1000$ which was the most i wanted to spend.
