And the gear driven magnetic declination adjustment allows for east or west declination settings to 180 degrees.

The vertical angle scale featuring 1 degree increments has a range of ± 90 degrees or 100% grade scale with an accuracy of ± 1/ 2 degree. A percent grade scale features increments of 5% .

Other special features include the precision aligned mirror with convenient " see through" sighting capability, short and long sights, composite body material with minimal thermal mass, jeweled bearings, and bubble levels. Each of these special features helps to increase the accuracy of your measurements.
