Frustrated re gamo swarm maxxim

Hey gang,
Bought a gamo swarm maxxim .177 gen I when the price dropped upon the release of the gen III. Long stories short, after a TBI (traumatic brain injury) I find scopes unpleasant as they cause vertigo (nausea, headaches, etc) and so I tend to use red dots or irons. I acquired a riser and red dot plus cheek pad to see over the “magazine” but it just couldn’t sight in. Even when lowered as far as it would go I couldn’t reliably see the target at 20 yards, so ’ve recently put back the factory gamo scope and I’m just wondering if anyone knows about a red dot that’ll fit scope rings? The rings are at the perfect height but the magnification is giving me a migraine just trying to get it zeroed, let alone trying to enjoy shooting the thing.
not worthy because it’s a fine rifle, good power and lightweight with an intuitive action.
That’s all folks, lemme know.

Never seen a red dot with 1" tube, but there are some nice ones with a riser mount, and would need 11mm adapters if gun does not have weaver rail.

You think this might fit the bill?
BTW, shipping will set you back another $15.00

There’s a few tactical scopes for AR’s and such that have low to no magnification and 1” tubes. I’ve never used any of them so I couldn’t recommend a particular one. If I remember correctly several come with red dots or IR.

Been a long time since I bought mine, but Millet use to make a durable 25mm dot site. The one I have is mounted on a Ruger 22/45 & has been a good small game rig.
