i just finished building my first AR which can be seen here...
http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=4&t=517380
...anyways
im not great with peep sights yet, so i was wondering would it be alright if i sighted the red dot first then got the iron sights adjusted based on that afterwards?

also what range should i sight them both in at
i will be using this set up with the red dot and magnifier for deer hunting this year
should i just sight it in at 50 or 100?

I would sight in at 50yds / 200 meters  see http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=18&t=328143

You can sight them in any order that you want.

Thanks for the tip
My iron sights are Troy if that makes a difference at all
Also, you used two different measurement systems in your reply
If I sight it at 50 yards the round will cross paths at that sale zero at 200 yards as well?

Zeroing at 50 yards will give you a 220 yard zero (which is 200 meters).
