The Tasco red dots are designed to mount to a weaver style base. So, if you get a bolt action rifle and add the weaver base as an option, you should not have any trouble.
EoTech is a different story. I know they make sights that are weaver based, and they make a hunting line, so there are sights available for bolt action from them as well. References :

Yes they can be mounted. However, unless you intend to use the rifle at distances of 50 yards or less, the dot will start cover more and more area of the target. The more expensive dot scopes like the Eotech do have adjustable MOA dots, but that is going to cost big $$$. References :

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.
