by the way the scope in question moves 4" horizontally and 6" vertically between 2 and 8 power at 50yds.Not normal!
I agree, and others do to if you got to go to the links I posted. They're deleted now. I knew they would be, but you can find this info if you search for it.
All scopes don't do it, and I agree with Cal that Leupolds don't do it. I'm sure non of the better scopes do. The Bushnell I have could do it for all I know, but I just use one power setting.
