Rifle Scopes Bushnell XRS 4.5-30 Knobs

Anyone else have a problem with their XRS and the knobs kind of floating around between 0 and 0.05 mils for every setting? They aren't tight when I push the knob down. They line up if I hold the knob in a clockwise directions but if I put any amount of pressure the other way it seems to turn in between two divisions. This is on the locking turrets which I am assuming are the same for the HDMR. It makes it kind of hard to tell where it is since the divisions are so close together. I set the zero stop and rezeroed the turrets after sighting in but I don't see any way to make this tighter. Its like the internal gears mesh very loosely.

Actually found this thread:

Its about the HDMR but similar I suppose. I did tighten the top nut with the nickel really well and that seemd to snug things up a little. Now i noticed that its lined up perfect at 0 but if i turn to say 6.7 mils its in between.

I'm gonna call Bushnell on Monday. I have the worst luck with scopes. I think I might just sell something and buy a Schmidt. I got ASC next week too.
