I honestly believe you will be more effiecent with a LOW power scope mounted as low and close as possible to barrel. A very low power scope will have a HUGE field of view,not conceal any of the game animal,and actually be faster getting on target than any form of iron sights.
Do yourself a favor and at least THINK about a 2x or 1.5x-4.5x scope.If you choose a variable,ALWAYS keep it turned down all the way in woods.
Too many people either "overscope" or fail to keep scope at lower power.
