I prefer the scope over the red dot. The scope is always on, I don't have to remember to turn it on. The scope never is left on and kills the batteries and I've hunted with those whose red dots died. Yes, that is the fault of the owner but it still happens. I don't have to remember to turn on my scope before or during a setup and turn it off after a setup...etc...

I'm used to a scope. I would never change.
