Mines 1/4 I got that work fine 1/4 with 3 or 4 different bullets OK OK OK It was only acting strangely with one bullet sabot combination. Guns FINE, SCOPES FINE only that one bullet sabot combination. SabotLoader explained it the best it's possible to have a certain sabot with a certain powder and bullet to act strange. Thats what happened. It was verified by 2 DNR Range officers and myself 27 years Army retiree. All other bullets work fine zero with 1/4 click adjustments Just not the 240 XTP green SABOT It's repeatable it zeros (just different) All bullets group fine once zeroed. Gun is a TC Encore with a pretty tight bore.I'm shooting 300grain SST for hunting season so not an issue. BTW It's a great scope
 
My Bushnell Elite does generally the same thing. Moves POI about 1.75% of the indicated .25 inch click. I don't care, I sight in for a dead on 100 hold to the best of my bifocals ability. Heck my grain measure for 90 grains by volume ends up weighing 76 grains with BH209 which should be closer to 108 grains by volume. Again, I don't care, I sight in for 100 yards and there are no shots possible over 120 yards in my woods. Most of my deer are taken inside 20 yards. With the 250 grain SSTs quartering away they rarely take a step.

no such thing as a one click, one inch scope

Oh yeah? How about 1 click = 1 MOA, which is actually a little over an inch, 1.047" @ 100 yards. This one is a Vortex Viper 2.5-10x44 with a 30mm tube mounted on a CVA. Care to argue? The deer sure don't! :D

I recall a 1MOA Vortex that 45cal got us interested in just a few years ago - it was for a Crossbow and we decided against it, went with 1/2moa instead.
Looks like it's mounted to a rifle, so guess it does work - good to know.
 
Shot and got Deer yesterday spine shot 100 yards bada Bing Bada Boom Bang flop never moved. I guess my zero held just fine

Congratulations on your harvest . Not trying to be a jerk but we're you aiming for the spine ?
