I have red dot and reflex sights, and I hugely prefer the reflex, more compact, lighter, with a finer reticle. My red dot has a 4MoA dot that covers a four-inch circle at 100 yards.
You can zero them exactly as you would a scope, fire a shot and adjust windage and elevation to put the reticle over the bullet hole.
I have a '94 top-eject in .30-30, and I've got the Williams side-mount setup for scoping it for load development, but I think for hunting I'd prefer the OEM sights, or the peep sight I have on mine rather than a scope.
I would suggest you buy the cheap Chinese reflex and/or red dot on Ebay and see if you can actually work with it, I don't like either myself. If you mount it on a QD rail you can carry it in a pocket when you don't need it, then pop it on as required. You can also mount a three-power flip-out magnifier with it to give you some zoom as required.
