You can range at any power with a FFP.
With a variable power 2nd FP scope, you can only range at max. power, without doing some additional math.
Stress plus an additional math step increase the probability of error on your part.
More importantly, to me, with a FFP scope, if you miss with your 1st shot, corrections are fast and easy.
Let's say you see your first strike at .4 mil.s low and off .2 mil.s left wind.
Regardless of your power setting, with a FFP scope, you now hold the above-referenced correction and fire again because what you "see" in the scope is in true mil.s regardless of the power setting. No conversions are necessary.
Lastly, make sure your turrets are in tenths of a mil.
In the above example, if you wanted to dial your corrections, it is as easy as four clicks up and two clicks of windage and fire again.
Front focal plane mil. reticles with one tenth mil. turrets reduce the complexity of quick adjustments under stress.
