Jeff mounted a Leupold Crossbones on his Micro here:

From my standpoint, I believe if you buy a quality scope like this you will never regret it and I don't think you will ever have a reason to want a different scope.

Thoughts: 1) if the primary purpose is hunting, and absolute max range is not >60 yds, them a quality crossbow dedicated scope(I'd want Leupold) is likely the best choice. 2) if >60 yds is a serious consideration, then Optimizer/quality scope(VXR seems to be most for the money) is a better way to go.
I was able to get Duralyt 2-8(2) lighted for < cost of VXR so I went that way for both M380 & M405. I varmint hunt to 100 yds and deer hunt to my ethical max range.
If I got a mini, I'd likely get the crossbones scope.

If you go with a 3-9x40mm Leupold on a Micro, make sure it fits within the stirrup!

Yes, that's funny. I like the Bolt's size but don't quite understand the last distance setting. I agree that's it's relatively bright and very nicely sized.
