Just got back from the range. Really pleased with the results, unfortunately I forgot to take some binoculars to work out where I was hitting whilst sighting in, so I'll need to go back for a final sight-in.
Rifle seems to be grouping well considering it has a 2MOA dot and no magnification. I think this setup will be perfect for my next deer hunt in August.
The rifle didn't kick to bad considering its lite weight.

A late update on the red dot.
Great for last hunt for the year (October 2015). Super quick to get on target. However, had a couple of instances where a bit of magnification was needed (200m plus).
I have since replaced the red dot with a Leupold ultimate 2-7x 33. It will be interesting to see the difference.

Next deer hunt is in a week and a half.

I use a red dot on my Henry 22. Makes snap shooting up to 60 m a dream. Bunnies and Mynah birds don't like it.
