Optics can be pretty pricey, especially high-end ones.
But it doesnt have to be that way.
There are some scopes that are really good for not a lot of cash.
Is Less More?
About a year ago now, we were sent the Bushnell Match Pro scope to try out.
The scope is marketed by Bushnell as the best entry-level competition rifle scope on the market.
The Match Pro scope was built for competition shooting.
The scope has power prefs of 6-24X with a 50mm objective lens and a 30mm tube.
The Match Pro has a first focal plane Deploy Mil Reticle and is glass-etched.
The reticle provides fast and accurate holdovers.
The reticle has 15 MILS of elevation and 10 MILS of windage.
The reticle is illuminated to help give you more contrast against targets when you need it.
The Details
My personal favorite features of this scope are the target knobs.
Everything about them is fantastic.
When making adjustments for either windage or elevation, this is very pleasant.
The stiff clicks make it very easy to feel and count the adjustments being made.
The next cool thing is that you’re able to reset your turrets with no tools.
The knobs can be changed in the field to reset your zero without needing to remember to bring tools.
The knobs can adjust for 18 MIL in elevation and 18 MIL in windage.
Both turrets, elevation, and windage, can lock also.
It, of course, held zero just fine.
But under normal use, it has been fine.
We also conducted a ladder test with the scope.
Then, we fired to confirm indeed that it did move the shot higher.
The Match Pro did just fine shifting the point of impact up the appropriate amount and then returning back.
Conclusion
For whom is the Match Pro intended?
In the same respect, I think it would be great for all shooters who are regularly active.
All around, the Match Pro is a winning product priced very fairly around the $500 dollar mark.
