Get a good 1-4 scope, illuminated if you'd like, and then add a tiny reflex sight mounted on the tube for clearing your chicken house or whatever.
Red dots allow surprisingly accurate shooting at short and medium ranges, but reduce the light that reaches your eye considerably. One of mine, a Burris, has auto-brightness, which doesn't always work well. The other, a Vortex Sparc 2, has manual control, which works much better for me.
Given a choice, and having carried red dots in the woods a bit, I would always choose a scope for hunting.
