A red-dot is nice on these, but I'm not sure that I'd agree that magnification is overkill.
I wouldn't put a 3-9 scope on it, but something with some magnification is nice.
If you are taking it for 'yotes, a RD has somewhat limited usefulness, at least in my experience.
The 223 out of an 18" barrel is certainly capable out longer than I am with a red dot, and 3 - 4x magnification takes better advantage of it.
Indecision got the better of me and I put both on mine with a Leupold HAMR. I'm very happy with it so far, provides a lot more fun with a gong at 100+.
