First Look: Bushnell Match Pro ED 5-30×56 Rifle Scope

NEW from Bushnell comes the Match Pro ED with a 5-30×56, 34mm main tube, and a wild list of features – MAP is only $700!

A follow up to the hugely popular Match Pro rifle scope, the Match Pro ED raises the bar on every feature. Now featuring ED Prime Glass, Easy-Set zero stop, illuminated DM2 reticle, a built in throw lever, plus a ton more.

The turret design has big bold numbers, rev indicator, and more. In many ways, the Match Pro ED is borrowing features from Bushnell’s Eliete Tactical line of optics. 

Built for competition shooters the Match Pro ED has basically everything a PRS, PRS Rimfire, NRL: Hunter, or NRL22 shooter could ask for in a single scope while also keeping the price accessible by everyone. 

Weighing only 32 ounces and featuring an illuminated reticle with 11 settings.

The Match Pro ED is available now on Bushnell’s website.
