New Bushnell Match Pro ED Scope in MOA: First Look

Bushnell has released an MOA version of its popular, award-winning Match Pro ED 5-30X56 riflescope. In stock and shipping now, the Match Pro ED MOA 5-30X56 has the same original features and high-quality glass that competitive shooters have come to rely on, plus it gives a blue-ribbon option to those who prefer to work in MOA adjustments instead of MRAD.

“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.”

With a class-leading magnification range, the Bushnell Match Pro ED MOA 5-30X56 has a 34mm main tube which gives room for 100 MOA in elevation adjustments and 50 MOA in windage adjustments. The Match Pro ED also boasts best-in-class optical performance with its ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Prime 56mm objective with Bushnell’s patented EXO Barrier coating for protection against the elements. The glass-etched Deploy MOA 2 reticle is always visible and has 11 brightness settings, allowing the shooter to optimize the reticle for any light condition. The integral holdover tree lets a shooter instantly adjust point of aim without dialing, as well as allows for 68 up, 20 down and 34 MOA left or right. The riflescope also features a 6-hour auto-off illumination timer to increase battery life.

Because the reticle is etched in the first focal plane, the sub-tensions are always accurate regardless of the magnification setting. With a parallax adjustment down to just 15 yards, the Match Pro ED MOA 5-30X56 riflescope can get shooters on target at any range and is a versatile across any rifle platform whether rimfire, centerfire or air rifle. Additional standard features included on the Match Pro ED include an integral Easy Set zero stop and 2-stage pop-up rev-indicator, a removable, 3-position power change lever plus a removable sunshade.
