If you want the "old" Silva Ranger, then you need to buy the Brunton 15TDCL. It is the same thing with the same quality. The Silva company in the US is different than the one that made the old Silva Ranger. There is a Silva company in Europe that made the Silva Ranger. They changed their US name to Brunton. Hopefully that makes sense. And, the Brunton 15TDCL is the same price and the "new" Silva Ranger.

When getting a quality compass, I personally stick to Suunto and Brunton. I am sure there are other better ones, but these are the ones I know about.
