Silva Ranger S Compass When you need to take an accurate bearing across a lake, down a valley, or toward a distant peak without losing sight of your target, a mirror sighting compa ss is the right tool, and the Silva Ranger S delivers that capability in an updated, well-equipped package. The mirror sighting system with sighting hole lets you align the compass and read the bearing simultaneously without shifting your eyes between the terrain and the dial, which is where the Silva 1-2-3 System earns its accuracy advantage over standard baseplate compasses. The 45-degree angle assistance on the mirror function adds precision for specific bearing work that experienced navigators will appreciate. Updated graphics with a more distinct needle arrow make the dial faster to read under pressure, and Dryflex rubber grip keeps handling secure with wet or gloved hands on Canadian backcountry terrain. The included Scale Lanyard is a soft, bendable cord with 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 scales for laying directly along a route on the map for quick distance measurement. Combined with the baseplate's mm, inch, 1:25,000, and 1:50,000 scales and a magnifying lens for fine map detail, this is a complete navigation tool for serious users. Luminous markings cover low-light use, and the sapphire jewel bearing delivers smooth, friction-free needle movement for reliable readings in any conditions.
