Rifle scope

[812 rimfire]

Anyone using a bushnell match pro "non ed" wanting some opinions on it. Currently using a arken sh4j gen 2 but loosing faith in the optic from a quality perspective.

I use a Bushnell Engage but am interested in the Match Pro. Seems like a really good fit for .22

edit: I'd rather the Match Pro be in MOA...

That's my plan for the scope as well trying to decide between bushnell and vortex diamondback tactical

I have a 4-16x44 Diamondback Tactical and in side-by-side with the 4-16 and 6-24 SH4 Gen2 Arken, they're barely distinguishable in overall clarity. I'm aware that doesn't exactly translate... I have been very impressed with my Bushnell Engage, but it doesn't have the magnification to compete in contests. I bought it for the smaller size and weight as much as anything else.

Why do you not like your Arken anymore?

I have this vortex on my bench rest 22 and feel it’s great for 50-100 yds +

Put a Arken SH4J 6-24 on my LR308 in mil as I wanted ffp and milrad for long distance and have had no issues shooting out to 600 yds so far.


I do not use either scope in very low light conditions although both have illuminated reticles. The Vortex has a slightly better eye box but they both seem comparable, hold zero, track and return to zero, are clear to my eye and do the job I ask of them. For the money I doubt you will find better for less than double the cost. They both suit me well.

I was on the same boat. The more I looked, the more I saw... ED is the way to go if you can spend the extra money.

Keep having trouble with zero stop get it straightened out then use it and next trip to range it messes up and have to reset if again

Its not the best setup I have used but if you follow their procedure it works fine. Have you seen this?

I have an ED on my 6.5 CM and 2 non-EDs (non illuminated) on a couple of 22s. I also have a diamondback tactical on a .22 bolt action. All are good scopes. For a .22, the Match Pro (non-ED) is a great fit. The only reason I would give any advantage to the Vortex is for the warranty.

I've actually tried that once before
