[QUOTE="LDHunter, post: 1734869, member: 105"] It's so funny that I've never heard anyone in all the years I've been on hunting forums mention that 1/4 MOA isn't truly 1/4MOA when dialed but I've been experiencing it for over 15 years with Bushnell, Nikon, and Leupold scopes to name a few. I just assumed that it was what we had to put up with and wondered how so many people claimed to be turning turrets according to ballistic charts and hitting accurately out to long ranges if the adjustments aren't precise. Then I bought my first Nightforce NXS a few years ago and VOILA... I'd only had it out to the range 3 times and had it shooting for the first time at 200yds to get a precise zero and I realized that one click equaled 1/2' at 200 yds. I shouldn't have been surprised I guess but I actually was. I just assumed that most scopes were only approximate. Y'all can laugh if you want but I almost refused to believe it but with other Nightforce scopes I've found it to be very repeatable. I'd LOVE to hear that not all Leupold scopes aren't able to closely approximate 1/4" at one hundred yards per click but so far I'm still waiting for someone to chime in that it's working for them. Please be sure if you are going to claim it. It's important to people making multi thousand dollar decisions on optics. I'm looking for "hunting weight" scopes with truly precision and measurable 1/4 MOA adjustments. It takes a truly accurate rifle to reveal this unless you want to clamp a scope down and do a box test on a target with 1" boxes not just to return to zero but to actually measure the amount of movement per click or number of clicks. I've only found one video so far illustrating that any Leupold and in this instance it's a VX5 HD 3-15 and it was reasonably close. You can see it here and the actual shooting test was only at 50 yards but it's pretty convincing. The actual test comes at 5 minutes and 20 seconds if you're impatient.
