Aim dot sights are built for very fast target acquisition in tactical situations. The Military has raised the average qualification scores a good deal with the issue of the aim/red dot sights so they do work. I do agree with the comment about "Mall Rangers" or "Tactical Teds" being the most common owners. They are the same guys/gals who buy the tactical stock and fore arms designed to mount about anything. I even saw a guy with a Ruger 10/22 with tactical collapsing stock complete with a plastic bayonet, aim dot, lazer and mounted flash light. I did mount one on a 30.30 for my FIL the last few years he hunted becasue he was having trouble picking up the iorn sights fast enough. He could see well enough to pass a driving test, just being in his 70's was having trouble with the sights at dawn and dusk. He got a couple of deer with it.
The military is teaching triple tap with the M16A1/M4 that shoots the improved 556 that has a slightly larger case and heavier bullet (son just went through infantry school this spring). So that should tell you that it really isn't effective for big game. If you do decide to hunt with it get ammo with balistic tips, military surplus is ball and can/will ice pick through.
The 556 round is very popular and with import ammo it's cheap enough to shoot without worrying about cost or reloading. It's also a heck of a varmint round. If that's your intention then go with a scope. If it's a plinker then you may wish to try an aim/red dot (you can get a cheap one for 30 bucks, they don't last long but should be able to tell if it's something you like, IMO I hate telling someone what to do with a fire arm as what I tell you will be from my perspective). Unless you are a varmint hunter or paper shooter a scope on the is kinda a waste on the AR15 based rifles.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
