Attend an Appleseed. It will change your world with how accurate you can be, even with iron sights.

I got to shoot at longer ranges with my AR for the first time about 6 weeks ago. I was shooting a 10" steel target at 330y, to test out some handloads I'd developed. Rang it every single shot. I did not use a bipod or a magnified scope. Just a 1x red dot and a GI sling, seated at a bench (no sandbags, arm support only). There is no way I would have been able to consistently make those shots had I not gone to Appleseed.

All the scopes and doo-dads can make shooting the rifle easier. The instruction and training you get at an Appleseed event will make you a better shooter with what you have.
