Rifle Scopes Tactile feel of clicks on S&B compared to Premier

[ronas]

Raising my head high enough to look thru my bifocals to see the number and line on the turrets which are quite small is not ideal situation. The 1/10th mil marks are even smaller and hard to read.

So question is which of above subject two scopes has better tactile feel per click. It will be easier for me to feel the click and count them rather than look at turret. Scopes in question are 5-25x50 for each brand.

yet a third option - make the numbers bigger.

My opinion is the differences between the 2 are minor. To my senses the Premier has a more definitive feel as it moves. The S&B is nice, but the one I was using did not have the same "snap" feeling to me as the Premier, it just didn't feel as crisp.
If you are counting, the MTC may be a nice addition, but there are times when the first "click" past the MTC can be difficult to hit when in a hurry.
With that said, I really think you need to handle both, from position, and make a decision based on what you feel. As you will find, there will be dissenting opinions provided today!

My limited experience of only using one Premier and several S&B's tells me that the S&B's, for me, have a more positive feel.

I've checked out a couple of older S&B from members at my gun club, but no own has a Premier at least as far I know at this time.

My frame of reference is a Nightforce NSX 2.5-20x32. I would not define the turrets movement as particulary tight or crisp. Again that scope is my only real frame of reference.
