I am of the opinion that you should train until you are extremely competent with iron sights before you add an optic to a build
maybe 20 years ago. If my mom decides to get a rifle, we're starting her with a red dot.
For some people, using any optic is the difference between knowing what you’re shooting at and blind firing. It’s me I’m some people.
I guess that makes sense if you have $0.12 5.56, but even cheap optics are pretty good now and iron sights are far less performant across the board, especially for new shooters or people who don't have time to train extensively. It's a great skill for sure, just putting a counterpoint out there.
