Does anyone know of any retailers who will might be getting the new Bushnell Match Pro ED into Canada? I know tiger arms had a small batch but I'm curious if any other shops are ordering them. Supposedly from what I've seen on American forums, it's one of the best budget optics for long range shooting.
Bushnell Match Pro ED 5-30x56 in Canada?

Ordered one from Reliable Gun, hoping it arrives today. They have a few in stock, or they did a couple of days ago. One of the owners said he was really impressed with the quality of the build and the glass and that a bunch of the guys at Reliable were going to be switching over to the Match Pro ED.
Update: Scope arrived in the mail today. Nice clear glass even up to 30 power, although at 30 yd range the image not quite as clear as lower power settings. Loosely mounted on my precision rifle and will finish the install tomorrow and take to the range this Sunday to zero it. However, I like what I see, nice weight, pull both turrets out to adjust elevation and windage is easy with solid positive clicks. I also like the red to silver dot that pops up as you rotate the elevation turret, a nice feature. Will give a complete report along with photo’s in the next day or two.
Mounted on my Axis II Precision .243 today and took some pic's (not the best in the bright light). Bore sighted in the backyard and will be heading to the range tomorrow to zero and test. So far I'm impressed with the clarity of the glass, the illuminated reticle and ease of moving all of the turrets, etc.

Got out to the range on Sunday to zero and test out the new Bushnell Match Pro ED. Very clear glass, even up to 30 power and I like the illuminated reticle. Sunday was a bit overcast and the illuminated reticle with floating center dot was great to complete testing reloads in 3 shot groups and adjustment to Spearhead brake/tuner combo. For about $250 more than the Vortex Venom I’d highly recommend this scope. Tomorrow I’m bringing the Bushnell up to the range where every Wed our .22 precision group practise shoots and if time allows get some steel out at various ranges and have a mini competition. It will give all of us a chance to look at the Match Pro and how it compares to other scopes i.e. Athlon, Bushnell Tactical at twice the price, Vortex Venom, Apex, etc. Should be fun.
