Questions

1. I agree with getting a scope now, I will definetly be hunting with a scope. Do I need to zero the front iron sights before buying a scope and installing it on AR? Or when I get scope I will need to zero it as well?
If you are going to use a scope, don't worry about the zeroing the irons. You will however, need to zero the scope. If you have it mounted by the store you purchase it from, the can bore sight it for you... this means that it will be close enough for you to hit on paper, but you will need to do the final adjustments for a true zero.

Appreciate the comments
Mount the scope on your AR. You would benefit from having an instructor to help you with zeroing your scope and teaching you the basics. You will still need to learn sight picture, proper breathing, and proper trigger control. The scope will eliminate the sight alignment issues.
