This is exactly what my father told me when I was starting to ask about a new scope for a varmint rifle in 1968!
The specific details for each brand may be a bit different as in reticle design and external dimensions, but that would be up to the individual company.
At one time, Tasco built a really good scope
That 1" tube 24X Tasco silhouette scope that Dueceman donated for the AO target rifle is a perfect example, one inch but it has more than enough turret to go all the way out to 1K with a 20 MOA rail, and regularly puts 5 into under 1MOA . It is clear, and the turrets are crisper than a lot of today's scopes.
It also has screw on lens caps.
