Excellent review.
I own the 5-27 as well. When I first got mine I noticed some of the same play in the elevation turret as well as it only going to -0.4 on the zero stop. I attributed this to the locking turret style, and decided I like my ATACR turret better. Since running it a bit, I actually think the play has decreased. I still probably have about a line's width of play, call it 0.02 mil? My windage turret is perfect.
Additionally, today I re-zero'd for a different barrel, and my turret now stops perfect on -0.5. Just curious if this turret needs a little break in period since if I remember right it has a double detent or dual directin detent? Still not quite as firm as the windage turret, but I'm not sure if it is enough to call customer service. I might as well though since I've got a back up scope.
