Review: Mils NOT degrees - Don’t buy this compass unless you are specifically wanting one for military Mills measurements. It has degrees on the back of the compass that you can flip over and look at. However, the magnetic needle won won’t work with the inclinometer upside down. If you want degrees by the Ranger 2.0. If you want military use this is an excellent compass.
