You should look into a 3x prizm scope. They have the quick acquisition of a red dot but can make very precise shots out to 100 easy. They have a larger field of view than with most 1-6 scopes. Also they have an illuminated reticle for low light and if you have astigmatism it will be clean and crisp compared to a red dot.
Their are several good brands that make 3x prizms, Vortex spifire 3x, Athlon Midas BTR, and Primary Arms 3x to name a few. I personally have the PA 3x on a 10" 7.62x39 AR and I love it.
Here in VT we can't shoot any deer with a rifle that doesn't have at least a 3pt rack. We only can get the does during archery and muzzleloader.
Here in NC we have so many deer it is no antler restrictions. I do like the idea of Prism sight and never had a issue with a vortex.
