First Focal Plane scopes are for long range, right? Why would anyone need an FFP scope on an air gun that shoots out to approximately 100 yards accurately? What benefit would there be for us in hunting or competition?

Correct. While pricey, they do make shooting easier! I have one on my wish list 8)"pretbek"FFP scopes do not change the relation of the mil dot reticle to the target when you change the magnification.
So at ANY magnification "2 mil dots down for 85 yards" (for example) is true.
On a SFP scope this would be true at 20x, but if you had dialed down to 10x it is now "1 mil for down for 85 yards".
So so on a FFP scope you never have to keep track of which magnification you are at, the mil dot relation is always correct.

They also have this one which has a standard mil dot reticle and no illumination. https://www.primaryarms.com/Primary_Arms_4_14X44_FFP_Scope_p/pa4-14xffp.htm
They are excellent scopes for the price. Also I believe BSA sell a version of this scope through Midway.
