It's not a matter of magnification so much as whether you want to use your ranging/windage/drop compensator reticle at different magnifications and potentially how it shrinks down (or doesn't) for close quarters shooting.I am looking at some 2-10x FFP scopes. Is FFP an advantage at lower powers, or does it need to be higher to make a difference?
I dunno, I just stepped into FFP scopes with an Athlon 4 x 16 on an accurate .22 and what I have noticed is the grid is pretty useless to me at any thing less than full power. At low powers, the grid is so small it does not distract me, but the scope at that point is effectively a duplex.
Crank it up to full power, and the grid is useable and useful for hold offs and hold overs.
Maybe it's just this particular scope.

In general, FFP is preferred for long range scopes because they often get used at something less than max power to limit mirage etc.
