I did a search on ETS and found most of the compass threads were somewhat older and possibly out of date. I recalled a recommendation for a Suunto MC-2 and when I searched for it on REI it is no longer available. Doing a google search I did find the compass, but at what seems to be an elevated price point now ($36 US being the lowest price point I saw, which I guess isn't too bad, up to over $80 US).

I looked through several of the threads on compasses (again mostly older threads) and found a recommendation for a Suunto MC-3. I searched and found a deal on one here .

So I was just wondering, is this still considered a good compass? Are there better options available now? DS and I need a good compass for our Scouting adventures and at that price point would make a great stocking stuffer for us. As always, thanks in advance for your help.
