From 5-65 yards, a good reflex sight can be used to shoot squirrels out of trees. A larger animal could be taken with one at longer distances.
Next deer season, I am going to put a picatinny rail or base mount on one of our Marlin 336 for my Burris Fastfire III. Around here deer are usually 50 yards or less when the shot is taken, so no magnification is necessary.
Iron sights are ok, but in the early hours of the morning or when the sun starts setting those iron sights can be a little bit hard to see. A 3 moa red rot is very easy to see, and if I have enough light to see my target, I have enough light to hit my target.
Lining up a dot and your target is easier than lining up the rear sight, front sight, and the target.
