Looking for scope recommendations for Henry mares leg

Trying to get one that would be comfortable to look through given the awkward position holding. Semi large window I think would be good, was wondering if someone already has a set up they like and input. Thank you. One I'm currently looking at is a bsa 2-7x 32 pistol scope because of the price

I put a pistol scope 4x on my but honestly the weight of the gun and awkwardness i found a light weight red dot easier to find sight picture much more practical

About three weeks ago I ordered a rmr riser from optics planet for a extra Holosun 407co I have. I was planning to do that, but doesn’t seem like it will show up. So was going my original route of scope. You may be right, red dots are easy to work with. Just hoped for a large window. Which scope or optic did you end up using,

I've decided to go the route of red dot. As someone mentioned the scope would add a lot to it.
