Scope adjustments

Does anybody have knowledge on how to find the effective zoom to make my MOA adjustments the most accurate?

There's a lot to this question, let's start with the scope itself. What is it specifically?

Not 100% sure but I think it’s a pursuit 4-16x50(not the best I know). Something I picked up from bass pro a while back and it’s just been sitting around. Decided to mount it on a rifle I had, gonna use it to practice fundamentals. Ammo is too expensive to practice on my nicer rifles.

It doesn't say if it's a first or second focal plane. The easy way to figure this out is to adjust the magnitude when looking down the scope; if the reticle gets larger it's first focal plane and the lines are true at every setting.

If it's second focal plane then I don't know what to tell you. I couldn't find much information in the product manual about it.

It’s a sfp scope. Wasn’t sure if there was a rule of thumb when it came to magnification. Most my scopes adjust the mos precise at full zoom I guess I’ll just try that with this one and see

The pdf says highest mag with a 100 yard zero

sight in at 100 yards on any power then adjust 10" and see if poi changes 10" do this at every power setting and see which if any is more accurate . ( I said 100 yards but if you are not shooting 1" or less move target closer. I have a Leopold that is more accurate on 10x and a Vortex that is more accurate on 6 x. For fun shooting your Bass pro shop is fine and it's lifetime warranty with about 5 day turnaround on replacement and for what it's worth I put a cheap true glow 1x6 on my wife's 6.8 AR and it is as clear as my higher end scopes and adj is spot on at all powers .As far as asking someone which power is more repeatable it may not be the same on 2 identical scopes so you have to determine it yourself with your scope .
