Continental 6-48???

I’m looking at the Vector Continental X8, 6-48 scope. It’s listed as a “Field Target” scope. I am interested in using it for 100Y bench rest but I’m confused why they are classifying it as a FT scope? Anyone have any reasons why it would not work as a BR scope?
Here’s a link to the MIL SFP version of the scope in the above quote.

 
The description also lists Benchrest as an intended use. Another thing important for Field Target but not benchrest is how the parallax works. It is important that you need to rotate the parallax wheel significantly for different distances, especially as you approach 50 yards. In American Field Target I believe this is how you "range" the target. But that would be relatively unimportant for Benchrest, I believe. It apparently has a relatively small dot reticle which I like for Benchrest shooting.

I own and like a couple Vector scopes but they have 5 year warranties which is worse than my Arken, Athlon, and Hawke scopes. Not a controlling factor IMHO but a factor.

@JimD I knew that didn’t sound right.

My Continental has a lifetime warranty and it appears that this model does as well.
