Does Tasco Red Dot or Eotech Sights fit a rifle with scope mounts?
I plan to purchase a bolt action rifle, but was wondering if you could attach a Tasco Red Dot Sight or a EOTech Sight on it.
Both of the types of optics you mention are mountable on a Picatinny or Weaver rail, so if your rifle has either of those rails on top, you should be able to mount them. If you do not have those rails, a gunsmith can install them for you, or you can do it yourself if your receiver has been drilled and tapped for a scope base.
However, those types of sights are designed for quick target acquisition at relatively short ranges, out to maybe 300 meters or so. Typically, you only see red dots and holosights on fighting rifles like AR-15s, since they are a good compliment to the rifle's abilities. Your bolt gun, on the other hand, was probably designed to place a more powerful, longer-ranged cartridge on a single target at greater distances - therefore, what is usually seen mounted on a bolt rifle is a high-power magnified scope.
The only exception to this is the scout rifle concept, where a low-power scope of 1.5-3.5x is mounted in a forward position, helping to get a quick sight picture and a fast shot with somewhat less precision than the traditional, high-power scope.
In either case, you should be able to mount both optics you mention on your rifle with little or no trouble. I would spend that money on a good scope though, like a Burris Fullfield II or Tasco SuperSniper, instead, as I think it would be a better match to your gun.
Good luck!
