Any way to improve sloppy turrets?

Turrets are everything. Glass can be so-so. But if the turrets don't work, you can't get anywhere. And no matter how you slice it, the more $$ you spend, the better the turrets will be. There are no magical beans to help you grow better performing turrets. One way around the predicament is by using fixed power scopes.
I have wasted countless amounts of time and money, trying to convince myself that I will never, under any circumstances, spend big $$ for rifle scopes. Well, decades later, and too much time and $$ to count, Im going for my first $2500 scope. Does a person need to spend that kind of $$ to blast coyotes at 100 yards? No. But My personal hunting conditions have changed, and I am more stationary type of hunter now, that relies on not spreading my noise and my scent around, all over Zeus's green acres.
I thought my jump from a $850 scope to a $1200 scope would do the trick. (For my needs, anyway). It didn't cut it. Im going to try to go used. Good luck with your set up!
Exercising your turrets do help in maintaining relaxing/evening out the pressure that turrets are under. Going from all of the way, back and forth, several times a year. To lear more about scopes and how they work, snipershide is one of the best places. And also 'What the pros use' in PRS is another valuable resource of info.

The diamondback line has for me been unreliable as far as turret adjustments, they have held the turret "setting". But getting to the desired zero has taken more shots than other scopes. So if you're not dialing you should be ok as in set and forget.

This is awesome! Just sent back a Burris XTR-416, the elevation turret has been jacked for a while. I hope i get the same results as you
I dont own any Leupold, Vortex, Zeiss etc.......All my long guns are topped with Burris.
I do however own Swarovski and Leica (Rangefinding) binoculars and i am very impressed.
