From the list of scopes I have mounted on my hunting rifles, Bushnell Elites (3-9x & 4-12X) account for the majority. I also have Leupold VXIII (4.5-14X LR & 6.5-20X LR SF) and Tasco Varmint 6-24X.
Given that they are all ¼ MOA clicks, the question is how responsive are the clicks on your scopes.
Elites – Each click will eventually result in moving the cross hair. However my Elites don’t response to the clicks immediately. Ie. The POI will jump too far or not move at all during the first shot. It usually takes 1-2 shots before the cross hair settles down to the required position. While this works for sighting in the scope I could never use the adjustments during hunting.
VXIII – The VXIII are much better. The click responded much faster than the Elites. However, in limited situations, they still need one shot for the cross hair to settle down. The click is very accurate though.
Tasco Varmint – The clicks are very responsive although not 101% perfect. Each click yields ¼” at 100 yards. I have very little doubt in pulling the trigger during hunting knowing the POI shifts according to the clicks. It is obvious that Tasco is not the brightest and clearest scope in my inventory. It is good enough as my go-to scope for load development.
