I'm a new owner of my first bullpup rifle ever, a Hatsan flashpup in 25cal
The main uses of my rifle will be backyard paper punching and hunting of invasive species of birds and some mice. I will also be taking it camping and hiking.
I am looking for opinions and what optic options you guys are using for similar tasks, I want to keep it portable and lightweight and compact as possible. I was thinking a bugbuster since I already have one on a different rifle and it's small and compact and has a short eye relief as a downside but that I think would probably work well with a bullpup, but I am worried it might not be enough magnification for the hunting aspect as I know some of the shots off the roof of the barn might be 50-100yds.
I am also looking for something that won't break the bank under $200 is possible.
I would also like the option later to add one of those night vision kits to it as I have an unlimited supply of mice here but that is only at night I can hunt those. So it's important to me that the optic be compatible with a NV kit down the road.
