I have had mine for several years now but recently got fed up with it and finally got a Suunto. I now keep it as my back-up compass."

1) The baseplate is too short, which saves space, but resulted in reduced accuracy when taking a bearing to distant landmarks, and it made the compass nearly useless for extending course legs or plotting map bearings."

As mentioned, the problem with the Brunton adjustable declination design is that it uses only friction to hold it in place (instead of a geared screw mechanism like Suunto or Silva) and it can and does slip occasionally."
