Bushnell just announced the addition of an MOA model to the popular Match Pro ED 5-30×56 riflescope. Still bringing all the performance glass and features of the original, the line now offers an option for MOA adjustments instead of MRAD.
Bushnell Match Pro ED 50-30×56 Riflescope MOA Details
“We heard the requests loud and clear and knew it was time to bring out an MOA version of the Match Pro ED riflescope,” said Travis Overfelt, Engineer and Product Manager for Competition and Tactical Optics at Bushnell. “In doing so, we modified the reticle and turrets to accommodate MOA. The Deploy MOA 2 reticle has a theme like the Deploy MIL 2 reticle, but the turrets are in ¼ MOA clicks and the elevation turret has an extra row of numerals to help shooters keep track of their dial into the second revolution up from zero.”
The riflescope utilizes a 34mm main tube, giving room for 100 MOA in elevation adjustments and 50 MOA for windage. It features an ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Prime 56mm objective with Bushnell’s patented EXO Barrier coating for protection against elements. A glass-etched Deploy MOA 2 reticle and 11 brightness settings display the reticle. An integral holdover tree provides aiming points, along with 68 up, 20 down and 34 MOA left or right.
Loaded with features, the Bushnell Match Pro ED comes out-of-the-box ready for competition and more.
On December 15, 2022, Tactical Life reported:
Following on the success of the original Match Pro, Bushnell offers enhancements in the new ED 5-30×56 FFP riflescope. As a result, developing and experienced shooters like Sean Utley will benefit from features like an increased magnification ratio. Designed for hardcore rimfire shooters to precision long-range, the Match Pro ED has you covered.
Bushnell Match Pro ED 5-30×56 FFP Riflescope
Constructed of a single-piece aircraft-grade aluminum 34mm main tube, the Match Pro ED is built for hard use. Likewise, an IPX7 waterproof rating protects the riflescope, even when submerged in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. As a result, the Match Pro ED can withstand whatever elements you may find yourself in.
Similarly, the ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Prime 56mm objective lens with EXO barrier coating also helps protect against the elements. The glass also wrings out every bit of sharpness and contrast from your target without blurring or color fringing.
Listening to its fan base, Bushnell increased the magnification ratio to provide a more versatile range of 5x to 30x. Likewise, bumping out the main tube diameter to 34mm provides a 30 MIL (103 MOA) elevation range. A removable, 3-position power change lever can also be configured for left- or right-handed shooters.
Additionally, both turrets now lock, and the elevation turret has an Easy Set zero stop and 2-stage pop-up rev indicator. Correspondingly, the elevation turret ensures that the shooter knows what revolution they’re on, instilling repeatable confidence back to zero.
Improving on the original Match Pro, the ED has an updated illumination package with 11 brightness settings with alternating off intervals. A 6-hour auto-off timer also helps to increase battery life over the original.
The new DM2 reticle is based on the Deploy MIL and is updated to a .2 MIL-GRAD style reticle. First Focal Plane provides reticle holdovers that are always accurate regardless of magnification. However, the 15-yard parallax allows you to engage in even close-range targets.
Availability
“The new Match Pro ED has taken all of the feedback we received from consumers whether discussing online or at various events and transformed them into a one-of-a-kind riflescope,” said Jim Bruno, President of Vista Outdoor Hunting and Shooting Accessories. “We did everything we could to exceed consumer expectations while developing a versatile, long-range optic that is truly in a class of its own.”
