If it turns that hard, have you contacted Leupold about it?
A friend recently purchased a Nikon Buckmaster 4.5-14 (at my urging because Nikon is supposed to have good stuff these days). While sighting it in, I noticed that the turrets didn't appear to track correctly when making adjustments. Have also noticed this on a B&L Elite 4000 (x2).
The bitter cold may not have helped either and when it warms up we will re-test it. If it doesn't work, its going back to Cabela's. He got it because of the low price but will upgrade to a Leupold if it doesn't work out.
On his scope I also have a problem with the loose power ring. Its adjustment seems sloppy to me. There is a little bit of play in either direction before it engages to change the power setting. And other Buckmaster scopes in the display case at Cabela's did the same thing.
Like camera lenses, you get what you pay for. I'll stick with Leupold, US Optics, Nightforce etc.
