Thanks everyone for your responses. After careful consideration, I think that I'll follow @BigBore44's advice:
That little Sportview is awfully nice, and still pretty clear as well. Maybe the best part, it's about the same age as the gun, so would be "period correct". And as you said, the batteries never die.... lol.
No worries! I keep my "bs boots" on a lot these days.
Not a bad plan Chich, and if I'm not satisfied with the scope I'll likely find a dot for it. I do like the Bushnell TRS-25 you mentioned, and would go for that if I decide to go that route.
Ah, yes... so very true and it would likely be in the rotation. Though these days, since I got the dog, I haven't had half the critter problems I was having. Still, I'm leaning toward the scope.
I have to say, that it's threads like this that make THR so enjoyable to me. My sincerest thanks to all that participated!

Put the Bushnell Sportview on it. I heard once that their batteries never die.

My apologies to the OP if I have derailed your thread.

So, I voted Red Dot for a standup plinker and close range squirrel shooter.

If this gun will be used for dropping raccoons out of trees then i would definitely go with low power scope. Pretty easy to see the crosshairs when also holding a flashlight hahah
