12"LX200 GPS - "raised bump"

Posted By Catherine McKeefe

I have 2 questions about 12"LX200 GPS I recently received.First there is a raised bump to the left of the focus knob on the rear mirror cell casing.Did not see this on dealer's scope.It almost looks like a plug in the casting.Anyone know if there's a meaning or a future (or past) use for this plugged area?
Second, when scope is set up in home position,hard stop to hard stop is slightly more than 1&3/4 turns, while the dealer made a big point of showing us that the scope in the store revolved 2&3/4 turns stop to stop. Why the difference & will this be a problem for me?
Thanks in advance for any help for this newbie to this forum & the hobby
