After a year's worth of deliberation, I've settled on getting an MRod in .25 cal.
Before I put powder driven prices into this venture, without knowing much about these PCPs, the cost/accuracy/performance/hand pump(ability) of the MRod are the selling features.
The plan is, figure out the baseline, then make small tweaks to make this an accurate house sparrow killer at up to 60 yards. (F'ers ran my chickadees off the box on Sunday, and while the trap does the best, it isn't as satisfying as the "immediate" payback when it is required). If this doesn't achieve what I want, well, then I will consider upgrading to something that will.
Main Question from thread title: Based on planed engagement range and primary target size, what does the knowledge base on this MDS section suggest as the best optic for the job?
Follow up stats/questions:
If you have a "good, better, best" for optics, please let me hear them! A realistic budget for gun, optic, hand pump is it MUST be under $1k. Less than that would be even better (considering I see the "package" deals from pyramid that are in the 750~800 range).
I'm willing to spend more on glass, knowing that it will pay off on the annoyance of the HOSP!
(If I am insane or crazy, please call me out!)
TIA.

Follow up stats/questions:
- Should be some form of "ranging" or hold over retical, preferably etched
- Does not have to be a high dollar FFP
- Does not have to be illuminated (though, I'd like it to be)
- Does not have to be more than the gun!
- Should have matching mil/mil or MOA/MOA adjustments
- Would like resetable turrets
- Budget on optic, let's say up to $300 +/-
