Review on DETUCK Lensatic Military Compass Survival Orienteering Tool With Mirror Navigation For Outdoors, Hiking And Camping - Professional Geological Pocket Compass by Samik Drusky

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for the Price - Reads in Degrees

Purchased for individual field use and training.Nearly identical to the issued M2 lensatic compass, with the exception being this is marked in degrees instead of mils.Construction is a hard, durable plastic. Note that opening the compass isn't easy out of the box.The mirror attached to the interior of the top half is well secured and aligned properly. No real concern of it falling out and breaking.Both bubble levels read true. Shooting a crest is easy.Needle points magnetic north, as expected.Not bad, considering the price point, and those of similar items. Would recommend if you're looking for a reliable piece of gear. Would be perfect it it read in mils.Pictured: side-by-side of an M2 lensatic compass (left, cracked mirror)
