The Bushnell Match Pro ED is an affordable PSR riflescope that offers many features for PRS and long range shooters. With a 5-30x magnification and a 56-mm objective lens diameter, it scores with zero-stop turrets, illuminated reticle and short 15-m parallax side focus. The ED scope ensures high light transmission and clarity, ideal for long, fatigue-free shooting. With a price tag that in the US is $749.99 (MSRP: in Europe you will have to add VAT and custom duties, but you are still under the 1,000 euro mark), you get a riflescope that is not only perfect for beginners in the long range, but will also impress many "old hands". The Bushnell Match Pro ED is definitely worth a look, especially because to the version with Deploy MIL 2 Reticle (model Match Pro ED), a Deploy MOA 2 Reticle version has been recently added (model Match Pro ED MOA).

Bushnell Match Pro ED 5-30x56, with Deploy MIL 2 or MOA 2 reticles
The Bushnell Match Pro ED offers best-in-class optical performance built around an ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Prime glass with EXO Barrier, a ceramic coating baked on the glass in a vapor deposition chamber that provides excellent hydrophobic performance and dirt repellency.
The main tube diameter is 34 mm, which allows for a 30 MIL (103 MOA) elevation range. Windage travel is 14.5 MRAD to counter for wind drift even at longer distances. Both turrets lock, while the elevation turret has an integral Easy Set zero stop – to get you back down to zero quickly and accurately – and 2-stage pop-up rev-indicator, so that you won't lose track of which revolution you're on. The locking turrets on the Match Pro ED also have big bold lettering: this makes easier to see the digits quickly, while a raised and flared crown guarantees positive grip on the turrets, with no risk of losing grip under stress. Safe handling of the riflescope is guaranteed even when wearing gloves.
Bushnell's Match Pro ED riflescopes have been designed with both the rimfire range and the centerfire range in mind: that's why they have been given a close 15-m parallax ability, so you can can confidently compete in NRL22 and PRS Rimfire matches too
As mentioned, you can choose between two versions with different illuminated reticles: the Match Pro ED model features the Deploy MIL 2 (DM2), a 2/10 MRAD etched glass tree reticle. The Match Pro ED MOA model, on the other hand, is equipped with a 1/2 MOA Deploy MOA 2 tree reticle. Both reticles include refined and staggered line weights, bisected hashes, terminated hold-under for clearer field of view, and milling section for fine target measurement, and offer 11 brightness settings, with alternating off intervals and a 6-hour auto-off timer to increase battery life.
The Match Pro ED has a 3-position power change lever that can be put in left, right, or neutral positions for both left and right-handed shooters, or it can left out for a clean look with an included filler-screw. A 2.5-Inch sunshade with a 64-mm outside diameter and forward internal threads is included with each Match Pro ED scope, along with a Bushnell multi-tool.
