My elevation doesn't have slop. Maybe some minimal +/- play or overtravel, but the lines meet straight and stay put centered up as they should once I'm hands-off spinning the elevation turret. Definitely not 0.1 in play tho... hmmm...
My windage knob is loose AF in all directions like a ball-head when pulled out to twist, lol, but it tightens back up when pressed locked, as it should, and I don't dial wind.
Like BigJim kinda noted in his review, the cost sacrifice here is in the turrets, but the scope is really solid otherwise.
I hope to push mine hard next weekend in a winter PRS one-day match. We'll see how it goes, lol, got my 600yd elevation confirmation today, Brrrr it was cold! This XRS3 is a backup scope for me, so I'm happy with its features at the VIP price-point.
This morning, 3.2 mils (3.1 dialed) for 600y with a 130 eldm going 2940-ish, 6.5 manbun FTW!
