Long Eye Relief Optics for Diana Bandit and Chaser?

I've tried many pistol scopes and I just cant love them. I found that I much prefer a red dot. Your mileage may vary of course. I have Simmons, Burris, NC Star and various other off brand names and dont see much of a difference in clarity in any of them really. I would suggest going with an NC Star to see if a pistol scope is going to be your thing before committing to anything more expensive.

That makes sense to me. Thanks. The only complexity I see is that there has to be room for the Diana magazine. There’s a small space forward of the breech but I will have to see if it is enough to secure a red dot. I have a couple red dots I can try on them.
 
I’m finding some recommendations from various sources but would enjoy reading suggestions for long eye relief pistol scopes from fellow air gunners. My candidates are the Diana Bandit, Chaser and P-5. Many thanks!
I also use pistol scopes mounted forward on guns that would be hard to load under normal rifle scope placement
