I have a question maybe you guys can shed some light on.

Anyone ever bought scope in the 2k price range and had one turret maybe be slightly quieter and or have a little softer clicks than the other? Anyone ever experienced that?
 
Yes I have noticed a difference in how they move.

Different mechanics on both. Similar, yet different travel adjustments pushing, twisting, turning, binding in different ways.
 
Have seen it in most every optic of any price. Not necessarily in a negative way. But some elevation don’t feel the exact same as windage.
 
On my US Optics FDN17, the windage turret doesn't quite feel as distinct as the elevation.

But it gets a little better every time I use it. Sometimes on a new scope it takes a little use to get things broke-in. In the case of my FDN17, the o-ring in the windage turret is pretty tight, but breaking-in nicely.
