Okay, so I thought I knew a bit about scopes, but I have never seen this before.

I have a Nikon Black x1000 6-24x50mm MRAD scope, and when I adjust the fast focus eyepiece, the reticle dramatically ZOOMS in and out. What's more it's very easy to turn and could easily move with a slight rub on clothing. It seems to me that this would change my ranging, POI, and EVERYTHING. Am I wrong?

My Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56mm does NOT do this. Nor do any other scopes I own. 

To be clear, the reticle zooms only when changing the fast focus on the eyepiece....as in when you focus the reticle. 

The reticle does NOT change in size when zooming in or out using the power ring.

This doesn't seem right to me.

Does the image change together with the reticle?  or is the reticle changing size with respect to the image?

In general, apparent magnification of the image (with the reticle in it) does change as you adjust the eyepiece, but the magnitude varies somewhat.
