Personally I don't see how FFP is a disadvantage, though I use mainly fixed power scopes these days.
It's not a disadvantage at all. Except the reticle is pretty small on lower powers. My SS 3x15 for examp!e. On 3x the reticle is pretty thin. The thing is I NEVER use it on 3x. It stays on 6 x and I go to 12x for long shots over 600 yds. If I needed a lower power scope, I would go buy a fixed 4x and roll with it. A ff p reticle for moderate hunting ranges checks A lot of boxes. Reticle works on all powers, as does twisting the turrets at all powers. That's not the case with a sfp scopes.
