New to ARs and have a question

I am looking for my 1st Ar. It will be used mainly for predator hunting and I have settled on a Ruger AR-556. My question is this: This rifle has a front sight that is supposed to be a pain to replace, When I mount a scope on it will the front sight be in the way?

If anyone has pics of their setup or a pic through the scope with a front sight I would appreciate the help.
 
I found scopes under 2.5x-3x you can see your front sight through the scope.
Once you get above 4x you don't notice it.
What scope you plan on using?
 
I plan to use the Nikon P-223 3-9x40 Mate BDC 600. Looks to be a good enough for my range 200yrd and under at a good price.
