Viewer's Firearm Question: Why would you need Mil Dots on a Spotting Scope?

Why would you want the same reticle that is on the rifle also on the spotting scope?

The extra magnification in a spotting scope is usually greater than the rifle scope. Lenny Bolton and Tom Clarke explain the benefits of using the Leupold Mark 4 TMR 12 x 40 spotting scope. Permitting more precision in your milling calculations, the spotter can relay finer points of corrections and reference to the shooter. When the shooter and spotter are viewing the same reticle, a more effective, accurate means of communication is achieved.
