I guess I'm not familiar with the term 'jump'.

I think so. But you're right, I did miss that and I'll try and test that later.

I think there is always a use for FFP reticles. The first is that you don't need to worry about zoom when ranging or doing hold overs. Of course, ranging and hold overs only work with a properly subtended reticle. Second, is that adjusting the zoom can't shift your zero, as in a second focal plane reticle. I'm pretty sure of this, but I can't find a source on it right now. But it makes sense because the reticle, focus, and parallax is before the zoom lenses.

A bigger lens will have more incident light and provide a brighter picture.

I disagree. As long as your adjustments are accurate down to an MOA or so you can still walk your shots onto a target.
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> How do any of those 'features' make the scope worth more money than a scope that is not broken? </div></div>
Please provide some objective measure for a scope being not broken. Every piece of equipment has error in it. It's just a question of how much.
