Silva Ranger S Mirrored Sighting Compass

Precise Mirror-Sighting Navigation for the Backcountry

Best For: Hiking, backpacking and wilderness navigation when you need accurate bearings over long distances and reliable map-and-compass skills.

Take accurate bearings. The Silva Ranger S combines a traditional baseplate compass with an integrated sighting mirror, letting you view the compass dial while sighting a distant landmark. This mirror-sighting design helps reduce parallax errors and makes it easier to take precise bearings across open terrain.

Navigate day or night. Luminous markings support low-light navigation, while the built-in declination scale helps account for the difference between magnetic north and true north. Map scales for 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 maps, plus a metric ruler, make route planning and distance measurement more straightforward.

Ready for rough terrain. A Dry-Touch rubberized bezel provides a secure grip in wet conditions or when wearing gloves. The compact baseplate, 45-degree angle assistance and detachable safety-release lanyard make this a practical navigation tool for demanding days in the backcountry.
