Red dot sight for 7600 carbine

[mike t]

Looking for opinions on which red dot sight to purchase. Im looking for something that wont break the bank. It will be mounted on my 7600 carbine in 30-06. I had a bushnell trophy 1x28 model years ago and it was tough as nails, never lost zero in the 3 years I used it. Any and all opinions are welcome.

The trophies are good sights for the money...... I especially like the ones with the selectable reticles...... I have a Holosun on my scout rifle and they are nice too, but require a rail for mounting.....

I will be looking for s bushnell trophy 1×28 red dot either with or without the dual settings of red or green

the bushnell trs25 are highly regarded as budget friendly, under $150, good red dots.
I have a cmore red dot which would likely run $300 at the cheapest, and you can choose your dot size when purchased.
Holosun and vortex sparc 2s are others I'd look at for under $300.

I doubt you'd want to spend aimpoint money on a 7600, even if it'll put meat in the freezer unlike all the ones that end up on ar15s lol

Nobody else uses red dots???

I have used the Bushnell 1x28 on a 760 with good results. I now have the Trs-25 on a model 94 which I prefer to the 1x28. I would also look at the Vortex Sparc which I have used on AR's and may try on my model 94.

I have to ask why a red dot for a 30 06 ??? Personally I think you'd be much better served with a quality low powered, low mounted regular scope. Maybe 2x7 or 1.5x4.5 power.

I've always been of the idea, the better I can see the target the easier it is to pick a spot and hit it JMO

My buddy uses an eotech on his Remington 750. Works for him.

I find the red dot fazter to get on target, 90% of our deer are shot while doing drives.

HS515CU by Holosun is great. I have two of them, they are on my lever guns.

Highly recommended.

My pump guns wear 1x28 Bushnell Trophy red/green dot scopes... they really are tough little buggers.

Vortex has a Kinda bulky option.
Have you considered a Wilson combat like the 7615?

That is exactly what I am looking for

They also have long battery life, after 5-6 years, none need to be replaced.

Just a recommendation, get the one with the selectable reticles...... Then you can pick whatever reticle suits you best.....

 

[mike t]

Thanks to everyone that chimed in, I appreciate it. Now to find one.....

 

[SHELL SHUCKER]

If ye shop around, it ain't to hard to get a Bushnell Holo-Sight to go on yer Remmy. Just make sure to find one that uses AA batteries.

My one has gone 10,000+ rounds on my trap gun without issues.

Don't they all come that way? Mine did.

No, some are straight up red dots...... Which is ok if you like the red dot.......

 

[mike t]

is there any advantage to the bushnell trs-25 over the trophy with teh dual settings (red/green)?
