If you are looking at a scope that has a dot that you can turn off and use plain crosshairs that is great. Best of both worlds. I would advise against the red dot only though. I loved my red dot at the range and in open woods. The first time I had a deer stand about 30 yards away from me with low light and some brush between us I could not find the deer in the scope. My attention was focused on the dot with the dot on its lowest setting. It happened one more time and I sold it to someone that wanted it. I even explained the problem I had but he still wanted and likes it because he hunts small food plots.

Good luck. Quick funny story. My brother told me one morning if I could kill a squirrel with that (22lr 10" bull barrel w/2x scope)he would eat his hat. My dad warned him that he had shot my gun and saw me shoot it. I killed two that morning and a hat does not taste like chicken it was more like CROW!
