I think prior in this thread it was mentioned that the Arkens and Athlons do not have any turret issues and that if those $300 scopes can get it right, so should a prestigious scope maker making $1000+ scopes.
I’ve got 5 Athlons sitting here (no $300 ones, $500-$900 at normal street price) and they all line up well on the hash marks as you run the turret. As did my MK4HD. I don’t think that’s what Nancy was crying about though, he was crying about error in the tracking.
There’s plenty of video tests of through scopes of Athlons, Arkens, Vortex and many other cheap scopes where they do tests on calibrated grids and they typically show some error, some worse than others. The Athlon vids I’ve watched were 1% or so too.
As had been said, most scopes have some error. I used to have a humbler that I have to a buddy when I moved to FL (didn’t want to haul a 200lbs piece of I-beam 1000+ miles) that I easily tested 100 scopes on that were mostly high end and the majority of them had some error. The cheaper ones more than the expensive ones as you’d expect.
