The Suunto MCA-D Challenger Compass features a fixed declination scale and high-quality mirror. The MCA-D Challenger is ideal for surveyors, rescue patrols, and any hiker who appreciates accurate, reliable measurements. The mirror lid locks open at various angles (60 degrees, 120 degrees, and 180 degrees) and remains securely shut when the lid is closed. A sighting notch provides optimal accuracy. The large mirror shows the whole compass capsule as well as the sighting line. This compass works anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere and even into northern reaches of the Southern Hemisphere.

this compass has been through many adventures and adventure races with me. it's great and always works. however if you have to change the declination frequently the little screw will get stripped. i have used it for years but i can no longer change the declination on mine. that sucks, but i think it's common.

I used one of these for several years in the army. Never had any complaints about it. Lightweight and simple to use. I always did the declination in my head. After over a decade of service it developed a leak. I replaced it with another Suunto.

Decent basic compass and the mirror sighting is a plus for a value compass.
