I've got a SBH 7.5" that shoots great. Only issue is that I've had to adjust the windage WAYYYYY to the right to get it to zero.

Unusually far. Much more than any other revolver I've ever owned.
Has any one else had this issue, and what could be the reason?

I also have had to move my sight quite a bit over to get it to regulate. The theory that i have heard for many Ruger revolvers is over tightening of the barrel which would line the front sight up in the wrong place. Just a thought!

Yes, many have had the problem. Either you have a canted front sight, nicked muzzle crown or much less likely, a bad barrel. Ruger will fix under warranty.

From their 'Service Department' FAQs:

Why No Warranty Card Has Been Packed With Your New Ruger Firearm?
The Magnuson-Moss Act (Public Law 93-637) does not require any seller or manufacturer of a consumer product to give a written warranty. It does provide that if a written warranty is given, it must be designated as "limited" or as "full" and sets minimum standards for a "full" warranty. Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. has elected not to provide any written warranty, either "limited" or "full", rather than to attempt to comply with the provisions of the Magnuson-Moss Act and the regulations issued thereunder. There are certain implied warranties under state law with respect to sales of consumer goods. As the extent and interpretation of these implied warranties varies from state to state, you should refer to your state statutes. Sturm, Ruger & Company wishes to assure its customers of its continued interest in providing service to owners of Ruger firearms.

No 'Warranty', but they do have some of the best customer service in the industry!
