Identical to the Silva Ranger CL, the Silva Ranger 515 CLQ Compass adds a 0-90 quadrants scale bezel (instead of the CL's instead of the standard 0-360 azimuth scale). The 515 CLQ make plotting quick and easy no matter which type of topographic map you are using with its 1:24,000, 1:25,000, and 1:50,000 scales. All scales come in two colors, so they are easy to read. The 515 CLQ also offers a large sighting mirror with a 'V' notch, so you can take readings on distant landmarks. A geared declination allows adjustment for the difference in degrees between magnetic north and true north, giving you a faster read and reducing chance of error. The clinometer lets you measure angles of inclination. Other versatile compass features include a 0-360 degree bezel with 2 degree increments, clinometer, 1/20-inch scale, millimeter rules, silicone feet for map gripping, adjustable declination, and lanyard with adjustable slider. It measures 4 by 2.5 inches and weighs 2.3 ounces.
