Seems like most folks here are using their reticle once their scopes are zeroed. Any Chinese made scopes that allow for the use of the turrets instead (Arkens)? Or is that strictly a Japanese thing?
Any "clickable" PRC scopes?

Not just Japanese many European Scopes can click as well I'm sure there are some Chinese scopes that can click too. The question is not just if you can click how long can you click before it stops working reliably.

I hear ya. Japanese scopes are in my budget, most Euro scopes aren't
Seems to me Cyclops went to town on an Arken EP4 turrets. But I'm not sure if that is a Chinese scope...maybe Japanese?? The SH4 is a Chinese scope. Cyclops didnt do his torture test on the SH4.Upvote 0
I had JAPAN and USA OLD Burris turrets stop clicking that still tracked perfectly.
I had Bushnell Engage Chinese that worked absolutely perfect for about a year. Had UTG Leapers several highest dollar models quit in a day and 4 months and another a year. Not going to go further and mention other popular well known mainstream Chinese made brands since you all already get the drift. Was really sold on clicking Chinese till these and other unmentionable instances especially for the price paid for the unmentionable brands!!!

I was hoping you would post Mr. Yo. You got any suggestions on a Japanese scope that you would be comfortable using the turrets?

Athlon Midas Tac are great scopes with awesome turrets. As good if not slightly better than the Arken turrets. There the lowest model that have the upgraded turrets and HD glass from Athlon. Anything higher has them also

Cheapest one would be a new but old school style front AO JAPAN BUSHNELL TAC 5-15x40AO Mildot on sale for $299 at SWFA thats half price due to clearance being discontinued. I bought 32 of them and they specifically have the ELITE TURRETS.
Glass IMHO beats most $1000 and under Chinese made scopes believe it or not. Pretty close to the $699 JAPAN SWFA SS 3-15x42.
This one for a measly $299 will spoil you for sure. Try looking through Chinese higher dollar scopes after that you see what I mean.

$299 on sale at SWFA Parallax focuses well below the marked 10 yard on the AO as shown. Target turrets from the ELITE series (6500?) Sunshade included and a tool for the scope as well as a lens cloth. If you Loki what you see while looking through a SWFA 3-15x42 or fixed power models then this is the closest you're gonna get optically without spending over $1000 for a Sightron SIII or entry level Nightforce. Or the Relabeled Falcon that's specifically made in Japan.

Quick +/- 100 yard sign reading and the cheaper $299 at 15x is more pleasant to the eye sight picture and eyebox and $699 SWFA SS slightly edges out sharpness that most non critical scope users probably won't even notice. The SWFA has a narrower looking FOV and more critical eyebox COMPARED at their MAX 15x for both with an overall not as comfortable look through when side by side. SWFA SS SCOPE used to be perfectly decent for me before I compared it to the BUSHNELL TAC.
If you run a side by side for yourself both of these scopes you will see what I mean.
At least one person stated that the SWFA SS was a POS scope but I think they are OK but the Bushnell TAC is a better buy.

Oh-oh just did a double take and the $299 Bushnell TAC 5-15x40 looks clearer at 15x than the $699 SWFA SS both side by side at 15x that appears to show signs of a little chromatic aberration upon fine parallax focus whereas the Bushnell does not.

Great turrets are absolutely NOT a Jap only trait.
Good grief, that Bushnell 5-15x40 has moa turrets and a mil reticle, as well as being SFP. That's as goofy as it gets YO! I wouldn't care if it had the same glass as Tangent Theta and costs $200, I wouldn't buy one???!!!
At least the SWFA 3-15 has turrets that match the reticle and is FFP. The glass is only okay at best. They are however a solid choice because they track well. I don't think I've ever heard of, or anyone saying, they were POS's.
The Midas TAC has turrets that match the reticle, whether that be moa or mil, as well as having 10 mil or 25 moa knobs that are both very audible and amazingly distinct in click feel, a zero stop too, and everything else about it is well above its price range, including the glass.
Even my cheapy Athlon Argos BTR Gen1 6-24x50 tracks well. I've dialed for the last 4 years in Freestyle division with mine and won all 4 times, one being high score at state.

Element Helix is made in China but might have Swiss turret intervals and I’ve tested tracking and it’s spot on with trelok pro! Freaking amazing experience with the tracking, I almost feel like Matt Dubbler....almost. I don’t own any Japanese or European scopes, the Helix is the only scope I have that tracks exactly like it should.
