A thing of beuty
 
I have a 2MOA Aimpoint T1 on a hunting rig. Have hunted it up to -20C without issues. I did a "test" during which I shot a five shot group at both 100M and 300M on 15 different days ....agg'd 1.25" @ 100M and 6" @ 300M off the bench.

It will work just fine... I've had a similar configuration. I eventually progressed towards fibre-optic Battue-style open sights for the close-in stuff and I find I'm more consistent and quicker on target. I wouldn't personally use a red dot beyond 100 yards, but that's just me.

Where did you get your MaSi QD scope mount? Is there anywhere in Canada that sells them?

I use a trijicon accupoint 1-4x 30mm on my Battue. Great optic, huge field of view with the ability to dial up to 4x for longer shots. I love the little red dots but they offer a very small field of view; I can acquire targets faster with both eyes open with the trijicon. The trijicon is pricy but wow its a whole new level for short and intermediate range shooting: Heres a review - http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2012/03/foghorn/gear-review-trijicon-accupoint-1-4x-riflescope/
 
The 1-4 or 1.5 - 4 or 5 are nice options...... I used to run one on the scout, and took a few deer with it...... it's a very serviceable combo if you want a rifle you can dog with as well as a rifle you can sit watch with....

BUT, in my neck of the woods, with shots presented at 100 yards or less while dogging, the animal may be on the move, so the red dots are heads over tails better..... plus they make your rifle less top heavy and a breeze to carry.....

Just me, but for deer here, I carry my scout with holosun red dot for dogging and, if I am on watch, it's my 7-08 with a Zeiss 2-7 at the ready.....

You and I hunt the same. I would rig a Battue up with QD rings for a scope
When sitting and either a red dot with QD or run the open sights while dogging with the hounds

I was thinking about doing the same thing and recently picked up a Primary Arms red dot to experiment with. I think Primary Arms are associated with Holosun or are made in the same factory or something like that. I like it. It doesn't add much weight to the rifle and gets on target fast.
I think it will be perfect for a close range optic in the bush.

What model is the Primary Arms red dot and where did you get it?

I got the Primary Arms Advanced Micro Dot (MD-ADS) from site sponsor CTCSupplies.

It works great and has huge battery life. Lots of reviews and tests of them on the net.
