I wouldn't bother figuring for the money I'd come close a second firearm but if I had to do it as a stunt:

I'd get a Picatinny rail from George at EGW (not the 20 minute rail a conventional base) and use LaRue lever detach mounts for a 1" scope and a 30mm red dot. There are many ways to go that work short term for once in a while use - Weaver bases and Leupold QRW rings, again in 1" and 30mm and assorted heights - but for something I'd trust to always return to zero and to be rugged enough and to keep doing that on a daily basis for season after season I'd go LaRue and pay the money and for that money I could get a second firearm.
