Here is one i suspect your talking about.
Ultimate ONE Sighting System - Long and Short Range - Mark III Rifle Scope with Red Dot
The scope is fine, But i know nothing about it. The issue is the red dot sight being mounted so high on a gun that has such a low bore axis that when sighted it that red dot will be off majorly when you go +10' further or +10' closer than the spot its sighted in at.
This is due to the sight being so far from the bore axis and they meet at a much sharper angle than the scope does since its closer to the bore.
If you want a red dot and a magnified scope both you need to find another place to mount the red dot.
Here is a pic of mine with similar specs of what your wanting.
You could also just put each optic on its own separate riser and take it off and swap pretty fast and it shouldn't be off being sighted in by much unless your a long distance junky.

Yes, that is the Ultimate System I was referring to. I understand the problem of being higher from the bore axis and the +/- 10' will change the strike point due to the converging angles.
I figured at close range using the red/green dot is more like shooting from the hip type of general area, if needed. If one were to measure the difference in height from the bore axis to the "parallel visual line" of the red dot, and sight them in as parallel lines, then one could in his mind aim at the target and lower/raise by that amount for a good strike point, knowing that the red dot is about 1.5 inches higher than the bore axis strike point. Therefore, with the red dot, always aim 1.5 inches vertically higher on the target.
It's a mental thing that the shooter would have to compenstate in his mind all the time. It's a detriment, yes, but possibly a compromise solution.
Just trying to think of all the options.
