A 1x4 magnification will work just fine, I can hit a milk jug at 200 yards with my red dot. If you don't want to go with a higher mag scope that's what I would do.

I have two rifles I use for coyote, one with a 3x9 and a red dot. The 3x9 makes it easy to hit them at a distance, but the red dot it a little more challenging and fun.

Another thing you could do is buy a red dot and add a 3x or 6x magnifier with a swivel mount. That way if you need to reach out and touch something you can, but still use it as a close range gun when you choose also. Check out primary arms, their micro dot with magnifier is a sweet setup for a decent price.
