Did they increase the initial sway speed of scopes in 2.3? (Shadow nerf or unintended bug?)

I noticed an increased sway speed when first scoping in (quickscoping). This sway speed slows down after a few seconds akin to Steady Aim. It sort of feels like the added sway after swapping to a pistol. After testing in the Firing Range, I noticed Steady Aim removes this initial high sway speed on top of its old effect of slowly making the sway pattern smaller and slower over time.
I have no hard data so I'm just going by feel and memory; did anybody else notice this or am I imagining things? Nothing is mentioned in the patch notes about this.
