Does any one know what is comparable and in current production? I can find lots of Indonesian made Silva's and the closest Brunton is the O.S.S 70M
Sure, I can buy a $15 Silva for now but I'd like to buy a compass that will last for years. I have two kids in Cubscouts and would like to buy something once that will last as long as they can keep it. |
Streck, you might want to check your google-fu.
What is wrong with these Silva Rangers?
