On 3x the reticle is pretty thin. The thing is I NEVER use it on 3x.

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.
And there you have it.
"On 3x the reticle is pretty thin. The thing is I NEVER use it on 3x."
The FFP is [bleep] at the top and bottom of a 5X zoom optic.
Good shooters want to be able to use the entire zoom range for maximum performance.
Low power in close fast situations and in low light.
High power for LR shots.
FFP sucks in hunting optics.
Ya, being able to dial my sfp scope at only one power instead of at every power is a real plus....
