Guys, get a proper scope, and click for distance and wind.
The Modern Quality riflescopes will take it.
Mentioned here in the comments are names like hensholdt, zeiss, Premier, S&B, who are all built to take as many click as you can dish out.
I might mention something about MIL/ MIL aswell, but…

I have Burris XTR Scopes on all my rifles and so far they have worked great I can get well over a 1000yards Elevation.

The Vortex Viper LR has a 24 minute per turn elevation knob.

Be careful what you ask for. The more moa per revolution, the more coarse the thread pitch is required making repeatability harder to successfully accomplish due to backlash potential. In order to combat the backlash, the thread could be spring loaded, but wear and tear will always show up due to the steeper thread engagement.
This is one of the reasons that I prefer my older Nightforce (2004) as opposed to the newer ones with more moa per rev.

I’m not sure that I want to be “clicking’ between distances when shooting all day at varmints. Not only is that a lot of bother, but it also puts a lot of wear and tear on the scope. I like the Leupold Varmint Hunter’s reticle, which when combined with a knowledge of bullet drop and a good laser rangefinder seems to put me on the PDs with no significant clicking.

A Hensoldt or S&B with Mrad adjustments and a mil based reticle will aid any shooter in to making faster, better shots and even more so,

to spot for another shooter with matching set up is a no-brainer, a good thing since most of my shooting is done during stress or fatigue.

Best regards Chris.

Nothing comes close to having an US Optics EREK knob and a reticle that is of the same system as the adjustments whether mil/mil or moa/moa. If varmint shooters ever tried a reticle/adjustment compatible system, they would be much happier. Leupold/Weaver/Nikon (LWN) lost my business because their mil-dot reticles were uselessly incompatible to the turret adjustments. LWN, get with the program. At least Leupold and Nightforce finally came out with a first focal plane scopes.

You forgot to mention Premier and S&B. The Leupold M2/M3 knobs also technically qualify; however, the clicks are coarser.
