Rifle Scopes Steiners Scopes

Noticed that on my Steiner 3x15 Military, once the zero stop is set, it goes 3 hash marks over. Is this normal for this scope.

Yes, the mechanical zero stop is set 2 or 3 tenths below zero.

Thanks. Any reasoning why it was done that way.

In case your a couple clicks off your previous zero, it's easier to rezero.

Or the fact that often times, depending on what range you zero at... depending on caliber, there are moments where your bullet is actually traveling high... so it allows you to dial "down".
