Bushnell Match Pro

[Boomer74]

Any SHOT Show reports from attending members ?
I'd like to check one out, even though it's FFP... The reviews are surprisingly positive, albeit limited to a few people so far.
For the price-point ($500 USD / ~$650 Cnd), it seems like it could be a good entry-level long-range scope or varmint hunting scope.
My intended purpose would be the latter.

Interesting...

 

[Boomer74]

I guess it's too new for anyone here to know about it yet.

Or maybe nobody's interested in "entry-level". . .

I phoned Bushnell on this and they have no intention on selling it outside of the USA at this point.
You would have to import it yourself.

 

[Boomer74]

Did they mention it's only for sale through Bushnell online, and that no distributors have even received any ? That's what they told me when I called (after your post).

I'm of the opinion that this scope is so new, and Bushnell rushed it to market, that they can't meet demand yet so nobody's getting them - yet...

And their first priority is probably selling the product in their own country initially. Once they hit US vendors, the rest of the world won't be far behind.

They're available for purchase on the Bushnell website now...

 

[Newts88]

they're expected in Canadian Retail early July.
