    Bought a SB PMII 5-25x from another member on the PX. Member has more positive feedback than I've ever seen any other hide member. Perhaps the most. So I felt good going through with the deal.

    1) Windage turrets. IIRC, the PMII has a max of 6mil left or right and, once reset to zero shouldn't turn past L6 or R6. However, on this scope it can rotate well past 6 mil in both directions (see pics below). Is that normal?

    2) Box missing product label. The last SB PMII i had, and all the ones I see listed here, have the sticker on the end cap with product/model, seriel #, reticle info, etc. What I received is a box with the SB logo, but nothing else. It also doesn't have any quality control stickers indicating it's been tested. Any reason I should or should not be concerned? Is this normal?

    I plan to call SB in winchester tomorrow, but want to get community input first on experience with windage.
