Same sight is $20 cheaper at PSA right now: http://palmettostatearmory.com/bushnell-ultra-compact-red-dot-731303.html
If you really wanted the riser it's $10 on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003TWZG4G
Amazon had the version with the riser for something like $65 a few weeks ago, and PSA had just the sight for $60 a few weeks ago.
If you're in the US, you've got Evike, AirsoftGI, Amped Airsoft, and Airsoft Atlanta. There's probably more, but those are my go-tos.
For guns, I'd recommend CYMA VFC-clone AKs (CM040s, 045s, and 048s), G&G Combat Machines, or Classic Army Skirmish line. It really depends on your budget though. If you can go higher, I'd suggest doing so.
All I'd suggest to start with are a battery/charger, and some extra mags. If you don't like iron sights, get a red dot like a field sport with a riser. A foregrip, like one from PTS might be nice as well. A sling might be nice as well. I'm a big fan of my LBX Sling. I'd definitly recommend trying your gun before buying anything.
No problem, it's this one.

I use this for my cheaper budget builds. Works fine. Gives a 1/3 co witness. I believe the medium gives absolute. May want to get something nicer if it's for a high end build though.

I just bought this Bushnell. It is a great little red dot, and tough as hell.
I also bought this cheap riser mount because I was putting it on at AR.
Since you bought Bushnells I'm guessing you're buying on a budget, but this is a pretty good budget riser for a lower 1/3 co-witness.

Or if you want an absolute co-witness...

I meant why that riser. You could get one actually made for that dot that will look 100 times better, be lighter, and just be better.

I found your charging handle for almost $10 cheaper. You could cut the cost of the charging handle significantly by getting a one-handed one. I used the exact same lower build kit for my first AR. The lower build kit does not come with any tools. You're going to need some tools, such as a Castle Nut Wrench and a punch set
This is kind of optional, but you're going to need a spacer if you want to use iron sights (or else the iron sights will be blocked by the red dot sight. The spacer also helps a great deal is making it more comfortable, so your head isn't awkwardly tilted, obviously this will depend on your eye height.
Don't get discouraged if this seems confusing, if all else fails, watch an ar15 building tutorial and everything will be much clearer. Here's another tutorial. Good luck.
Not op, but would this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003TWZG4G/ref=pd_aw_sim_200_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=44WEMY5M76K70FNY3N99&dpPl=1&dpID=41uJyz%2BdAsL work as well
If you want a good budget fixed magnification optic, I really like Primary Arms stuff - their prism scopes run around $250-300 and are tough as nails with clever BDC/ranging reticles and pretty good glass.
For budget red dots I like PA, Holosun and Vortex.
If you're just looking for a decent cheap RDS that'll get you shooting and hold zero, the Bushnell TRS-25 can be had for $50 or so and will serve just fine. Add a UTG riser (absolute cowitness / lower 1/3 cowitness) for under $10 and you're in business.
If you do get the bushnell red dot definately get this with it UTG Riser
It will allow you to co witness with the irons. It's cheap and works just fine for the 22 (doesn't need to be bomb proof)
Seconded. But, u/Nonscrub if you cant pony up for the TRS, the Field Sport from amazon at $22 is the only other thing worth looking at in this price range.

Then grab this riser to get it to the right height:

A TRS-25 with a UTG High riser will give you lower 1/3 co-witness.
To expand on what /u/Lost_Thought said, the link you included has the standard mount that will result with a very close mount, like this or this.
If you want it mounted to better co-witness with your iron sights, you will need a rise mount that will end up looking like this.
The medium riser will co-witness with your irons. The high riser will give you a lower 1/3 co-witness.
These are the only two items (sight and one riser) you would likely need to purchase.
The Bushnell TRS-25 with this riser. Works great, real steel quality too. For BB protection get this, you'll need to glue it on or shim it with teflon tape so it doesn fall off
Here is the mobile version of your link
Weight (oz/g): 3.7 / 106
and if you need a riser the UTG ones on amazon are tough to beat, there are different heights. For a lightweight AR build of mine I used the Bushnell TRS25 with this riser--

This one? Did you mean co-witness was low?
Since you're new to airsoft I suggest getting a cheaper red dot at first. This red dot is pretty good, only 20 bucks and has great reviews. For the height you should get a rail riser, like this.
Edit: also any normal red dot should fit on your rail system
For cheapness you can get a Fieldsport Micro Dot from amazon for $20 and a UTG Riser Mount. I do not recommend using these sights without a riser.
If you want to spend some actual cash on a really good optic I recommend either a primary arms T1 and riser or a [Holosun] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NC1G0KI/ref=dp_cerb_2). Dutch uses a Primary Arms but IMO the holosun is probably the best budget real steel optic on the market.

Field Sport Red Dot and a riser. As for foregrips, look for M LOK grips. I like the Aim Sports M Lok Grip on my G&G.
What is the significance of a riser? Also what is the difference between this and this other than the price difference. and lastly would it be possible to buy the original mount and grab this riser?
Try this for absolute cowitness... one reviewer indicated cowitness with magpul BUIS
Don't quote me but I believe the 1" high riser would give you a lower third cowitness
Looks like I could get the Bushnell Trophy TRS-25 Red Dot Sight Riflescope, 1 x 25mm (tilted front lens) and UTG Hi-Profile Compact Riser Mount, 1" High, 3 Slots for ~$55 prime. Clearly doesn't break the bank. Would my next step up from there throw me in the $200 - $300 range?
You and I both know that this isn't the only thing stopping me from doing this.
But- I look into it. Looking at risers I found these two.

Best bet to wait for the sight to come in and measure? or is there a standard size for these?
