Default Optics question

My son and I squirrel hunt with our 1522's. We have Nikon 3x9x40 rimfire scopes mounted with the P series or M series base. We did have ours on Risers but switched to the rings. These scopes have the BDC circles in the reticles that allow you to shoot out to 150 yards. It is really nice option to be able to turn your scope up in the woods while hunting. We also have a 45 degree mount on our rifles with a reflex red dot for the close in squirrel charges. It is nice to be able to tip the rifle and sight with the red dot. The red dots are sighted in at 25 yards. I would suggest maybe getting 2 risers and put your red dot on one and mount a cheap scope on the other. This way you could interchange optics as needed. This setup would allow you to see what optic setup you like or what would work for you. Just a thought.
