Buy recommendations Optics recommendations for 30.30 survival rifle?
Just purchased this folding Chiappa Big Badger in 30.30.
looking for any sight/optics recommendations, wont be shooting anything north of 150yd, so low power scopes, red dot types etc. would be my assumed preference.
Low profile is a winner, because of the compact nature of the gun.

For the type of gun it is, a red dot or a prism sight. You need something with a low profile mount to get a good cheek weld, and you're not shooting far anyways.
Red dot vs prism is going to come down to do you prefer something lighter weight vs something that has an etched reticle for when the battery dies?
