But that's a brush gun up here.

Different strokes for different folks, yes if you are shooting relatively close and in brush I agree iron sights are probably best. On the other hand if you are shooting out to distance in more open territory, and have less than the best eyesight I think a scope is very useful. While once I was eagle eyed I am migrating to mole eyed :shrug:

I’d like to start deer hunting again( I say that every year) but the scope options are not there. What do people think about those red dot sights? Would that work for this particular style rifle?
Difficult for me to shoot with the open sights

Have you tried a ghost ring for rear sight? You might be pleasantly surprised if you haven't.

Always kind of liked a peep sight.

A peep sight with the orifice removed is a ghost ring.

I'm going to throw this out there even though no one asked.
HOW you shoot is every bit as important as your sights.
I was taught how to shoot a rifle at a very young age and used that method for many years, including the years spent in military service. It served me well but some years ago a couple of friends (retired SEALS) convinced me to try their way and what a difference it makes!
The method I learned early on was to aim with one eye closed. The SEAL method requires both eyes open at all times with rifle or pistol. If you were taught as I was you will find the switch painful but you will be well rewarded in the end.
