Fixed power FFP scope?

[baranjhn]

While perusing scopes on various sites, I came across the Optisan CP F1 MH10 scope

Optisan Optics CP F1 MH10 Reticle | Trenier Airguns

The Optisan CP F1 First Focal Plane is the perfect partner for compact and lightweight rifles and airguns. Parallax adjustment range is from 10 yards to infinity and a 30mm tube. Springer and centerfire rated with a sleek design and stainless steel low profile turrets with 0.1 mrad adjustments.

I don’t have a FFP scope right now, but I was under the impression that their main benefit was that the reticle size changes with the magnification. Since this is fixed power, what is the benefit? What am I missing?

I looked at the scope in your link and it is indeed a variable power scope 4-16X. Was there a different scope you were referring to?
Thx

Yes it is, must need another cup of coffee.

If it's fixed power, there isn't any functional difference between FFP and SFP scopes, other than the cost of manufacturing. I imagine SFP would dominate fixed-power scopes.

Exactly .. a FIXED X power is just that a FIXED & does not categorize as FFP or SFP best as I understand it.

"FIXED" is the operative word here. SFP or FFP is only relative to ADJUSTABLE scope optics & not FIXED scope optics in my understanding.
